Please explain the difference
Protek Shed & Fence is a good comparison to Ducksback Cuprinol,
offering the same protection at a similar price point. The Protek range is slightly more expensive due to the use of organic compounds to create the colour ranges. The Ronseal wood stain indicates that there is no organic materials or a wax coating to provide any protection against the weather.
Finally, the next grade up is the Woodstain and Protect, which offers twice the lifespan and a much better protection against the weather. Also available in a much bigger colour range - this product is for those that only want to paint the fence every 3/4 years as opposed to every year.
