6 reasons why you should use Cuprinol Ducksback for your next garden project
Whether you’re brightening up your fence or just want to put the finishing touch to a handmade planter, this premium paint can help you both transform and protect your outdoor space
1. Best five-year all-weather protection
Cuprinol Ducksback offers the ultimate protection for rough-sawn wood thanks to its innovative wax-enriched formula, which is water-repellent. Easily absorbed into the wood, the advanced formula ensures water will simply run off the surface. So, not only will you brighten up your space, but you’ll also be treating it with a weatherproof barrier at the same time. Once applied, it’s shower-proof within just one hour, and it will keep your garden looking smart for up to five years. Plus, it offers frost protection, so you can rest assured your garden will withstand harsh winters and wet weather all year round.
2. Embraces nature
Uniquely, Cuprinol Ducksback is designed to work in harmony with your garden and the selection of colours available are inspired by nature. Its wax-enriched formula, meanwhile, absorbs into the wood and mimics the water-repellent properties of – you guessed it – a duck’s back, so water will just run off the surface. It’s also water-based, low in odour and safe to use around plants and pets.
3. Easy to use
Cuprinol Ducksback has dual consistency, so it’s thick and doesn’t drip, yet it’s also smooth and glides on easily. All it takes is a couple of coats and you’ll be done – apply one coat for the base, leave to dry for two-four hours, then add a second coat to finish. You just need to wait for that to dry before putting plants or furniture back in place. Simple!
4. Perfect for big projects
Available in 5L and 9L pots, Cuprinol Ducksback is ideal for larger jobs such as sheds and fences, but if you have some left at the end, why not use it up on your smaller projects too? Whether you’ve created outdoor seating using old pallets, made a feeding table for the birds, or built your own planters, the possibilities for protection with Cuprinol Ducksback are endless.
5. A range of colours
With a selection of stylish, nature-inspired shades available, Cuprinol Ducksback can help you to really get the best out of your outdoor haven. There’s chic Silver Copse for understated sophistication, bold Black to make your flowers pop and classic Autumn or Harvest Brown, amongst many other natural hues, to choose from.
6. Premium
