Use and Care Manual
Spray panels with light coats, alternating at 45° angles and coat all
edges evenly.
Coat the roller in a roller-tray before applying. Roll the coating on the
panels evenly for consistent coverage and to avoid build-up in the
cavities. Clean up excess coating and drips with a paintbrush.
Coat the brush well and apply evenly, wiping excess drips regularly.
Always follow product
directions or consult a
hardware or painting
professional.
Wear protective clothing
and eye protection.
Application
Methods
OUTDECO is a timber
product, so most exterior-
grade, water-base, low-
VOC coatings or nishes
designed for timber are
suitable.
Using coatings other
than water-based
treatments or products
not specically intended
for timber will void the
warranty.
Coatings
• Use an exterior-grade, water-base, low-VOC solid-stain with a pigment
that will enrich the panels’ natural color.
• Solid-stains help block UV rays to maintain the rich timber texture and
reduce maintenance.
• Use an exterior-grade, water-base, low-VOC clear sealer.
• Re-treat panels as often as you would a hardwood timber fence.
• Use an exterior-grade, water-base, low-VOC paint.
• Follow paint manufacturer's directions for number of coats and drying time.
• Timber products’ rates of absorption and finish may vary. Test a patch
of your color or painting technique on the back or concealed panel edge.
• Repaint panels as often as you would other exterior painted wood surfaces.
To maintain previously treated panels, re-coat with the previously used product or
other exterior-grade, water-base seal or stain (timber fence product).
• Apply with a roller on the front surface and wipe excess drips in the pattern
cut-outs and edge gaps.
• Re-treat panels as often as you would a hardwood timber fence.
If your panels have weathered slightly and you wish to bring back a darker, rich
look, coat the surfaces with an exterior-grade, water-base solid stain and sealer.
• Use a solid-stain similar to the panels' original color and follow with a clear sealer.
• Apply with a roller on the front surface and wipe excess drips in the pattern
cut-outs and edge gaps.
• Re-treat panels as often as you would a hardwood timber fence.
