FAQ
Should you oil new gates before installation?
Yes, for best results, we’d recommend treating your gates before installing them. This ensures all the edges are coated, so no gaps can allow moisture to seep in.
How many coats of wood oil do I need?
It’s best to use two coats when using wood oil on your gates. Allowing the first coat to dry and then adding a second helps to offer full protection so that the grain is fully protected.
How long does Treatex Exterior Oil last?
The average application can last you around 1 to 3 years. If you live in wet and windy conditions, you may need to annually reapply Treatex. If you live in a milder environment, your gate may last longer before you need to refresh the wood.
