Key Features & Benefits

One-Coat Coverage

• Creates a moisture-resistant barrier, protecting sheds and fences from rain and water ingress.

Long Lasting & UV Resistant

• UV-resistant pigments ensure vibrant colors and protection against sun damage, extending the life of treated timber.

Harmless to Pets and Plants

• Safe to use around pets and plants once dry, making it ideal for garden environments.

Water-Based Formula

• Low-odor and easy to clean with water, offering a user-friendly and eco-conscious option for outdoor timber treatment.

Vibrant Color Options

• Available in Dark Brown, Autumn Gold, Green, Lunar Grey, and Red Cedar, providing aesthetic versatility for sheds, fences, and other garden structures.

Application Instructions

1. Prepare the surface by cleaning the timber to remove dirt, algae, or old treatments; sand lightly if needed for smooth or previously treated surfaces.
2. Stir the tin thoroughly to ensure an even color and consistency before application.
3. Apply the treatment using a brush, roller, or sprayer, working in thin, even coats on dry or slightly damp rough-sawn timber (avoid wet surfaces).
4. Cover the surface with one generous coat, ensuring full saturation; apply a second coat if needed for porous or weathered timber (wait 24 hours between coats).
5. Allow to dry for approximately 12 hours (touch-dry) or 24 hours for full curing, depending on weather conditions and humidity.
6. Clean tools with water immediately after use to prevent drying of the treatment.

Care & Maintenance

• Store unused Timbermate in its original tin in a cool, dry place, away from extreme temperatures, to maintain quality.
• Clean brushes, rollers, or sprayers with water immediately after use to avoid buildup.
• Inspect treated surfaces annually; reapply a maintenance coat every 23 years or as needed to maintain water repellency and color vibrancy.
• Dispose of empty tins responsibly, following local recycling guidelines for paint containers.
