  • Ideal for outdoor timber.
  • Easy, quick-drying application.
Main Highlights
  • REBRANDED - Our rebranded original treatment 'Solvent Based Protection is now called 'Wood Protector'. The same great product and formula, just with new and improved branding.
  • RED CEDAR WOOD PROTECTOR - Our Red Cedar Wood Protector has a semi-translucent finish that doesn't mask the wood grain. Our Red Cedar Wood Protector is designed to enhance and protect the natural look of wood.
  • EXTERIOR WOOD PROTECTION - Our Red Cedar Wood Protector can be used on most outdoor timber and is recommended for use of sheds, fences and general garden furniture. This wood protector creates a water-repellent barrier, and a high UV-resistant finish and prevents dry-film fungal growth - perfect for all outdoor wood!
  • EASY TO APPLY - Our Red Cedar Wood Protector can be brushed, sprayed or dipped depending on your requirements. This wood protector provides an even application with excellent coverage that dries quickly.
  • OUR RECOMMENDATION - The wood protector, when applied to rough sawn wood may appear a lot darker than if the same product was used on smooth planed wood. We strongly recommend that you apply Timbashield to a small inconspicuous area (and allow it to dry) prior to extensive use. Different types of wood will also affect the final shade and depth of colour.

Why we love it
  • Fast drying and rainproof.
  • Environmentally friendly formula.
  • Deep penetrating stain.
Main Highlights
  • FAST DRYING and ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY: Suitable for all softwoods and hardwoods, our Exterior Wood Stain is touch dry in 10 minutes and rainproof in just 30 minutes. This outdoor wood stain has a water-based formula which is low odour and non-toxic, so safe to use in all outdoor environments.
  • EASY-TO-USE and EASY CLEAN-UP: Apply with a Foam Brush, bristle brush or Lint Free Cloth and, because it is a water-based wood stain, just rinse out the brush under the tap ready to use again.
  • DEEP PENETRATING STAIN: Our Exterior Wood Stain is highly concentrated and stains wood in just one coat. It can be used to colour new wood and restore old wood, and is specially formulated to evenly dye wood, ensuring equal and even colour penetration throughout. Additional coats can be applied to deepen the colour. 28 different colours available, as well as 15ml tester kits in 5 different colour ranges. Coverage: 13m² per litre.
  • USE WITH: After staining your outdoor wood, the stain is lightfast and water resistant, but we recommend you seal and protect the wood with our Teak Oil. Our Exterior Wood Stain is based on the same technology as our Wood Stain but is made a little thicker to suit exterior wood. This means that it can be used on interior wood too if you prefer these colours.
  • WOOD DYE: Our stain penetrates wood just like a dye, allowing the grain of the wood to show through, enhancing the beautiful characteristics of the timber. Additional coats can be applied to deepen the colour.
