Keep Your Decking Looking Fresh All Year RoundUpdated 7 days ago

If your decking’s looking a little grey and worn after a long, soggy UK winter (you’re not alone!), now’s a great time to give it a bit of love before the warmer weather rolls in. But if you’ve had a quick browse online or in-store, you’ve probably found yourself staring down a wall of products – oils, stains, paints, sealers… and wondering what on earth the difference is.

So in this blog, I’m breaking it down to the two most popular options when it comes to reviving timber decking: decking oils vs decking stains. I’ll cover the key differences, which one’s best for your deck, and what products we actually recommend (because let’s be honest – there are a lot out there, but not all are equal). And with no shortage of options in our Decking Paint and Stains collection, you’re bound to find the perfect fit. Whether you're tackling decking for the first time or giving last year’s job a much-needed refresh, this guide will help you cut through the jargon and pick the right product for your boards.
