I use Osmo Oil, fantastic stuff
My decking is looking a little tired so it needs a good scrubbing and treating with a wood stain.
Has anyone done this recently and can you recommend a product?
Are Cuprinol or Ronseal the top choices?
Thanks in advance!

Another vote for osmo. One of my mates is a joiner, wouldn't use anything else
Amazing, this places never lets me down!
Is this the stuff?

I've used Ronseal for the past 6 years and been happy with the results but will try Osmo next time, as so many friends and tradesmen have recommended it to me.
Our deckhas been down about 6 years and was never treated by the previous owner. We gave it a moderate pressure clean and applied two coats of Creocote. It has come up way better than I expected and should last a few years before needing another coat, although we will probably have the painter who recommended it apply another coat in Autumn. The only caveat is that it's a little fumy for a few weeks after.

The very best stuff you can get regardless of price - that's a job I prefer to do as infrequently as possible
I would use oil when I had decking I used 3 different brands of stain and it all started peeling after a few winter months the stain seemed to just sit on top of the wood but the oil sinks in
Topical video that compares Osmo with its rivals. I've set it to start at the relevant bit, but the whole thing is worth watching https://youtu.be/ZOQ2L1TMayc?t=814
osmo or barrettine brands i use for wood, not sure if they have products just for decking
Under no circumstances ever use decking stain - appalling stuff that lasts a year if you are lucky and then flakes off. It doesn't protect the wood much either.
Always use decking oil - I use American Rye Oil - fabulous.
Our decking is about fifteen or more years old, and looks like it was laid last week.
You can get decking oil on ebay far cheaper than in B&Q too.
So clever my foot fell off.
Is osmo any good for fences that have already been stained? I did mine 4 years ago with a tub of cheap stuff that looked great to start, but now has started to lose its coverage.
