We required a dark stain for our fencing project and this product did the job. Creocote was applied to an already treated 'brown' fencing panel which for our liking was just not dark enough. We applied two coats to ensure an even stain prior to installation and we will apply a final coat when installed. The colour is even and has an impressive finish/appearance. We did slightly underestimate the coverage though, purely on the basis we do not do this work regulary - our project was 42m of closeboard fencing (400 panels 150mm x 1.8m/plus 200m of arriss rails/cant rails/capping rails, gravel boards and some 20 oak posts to stain. We did flood the panels generously I have to say. We used 80L in all, but with that amount of material we are not supprised. We are very happy - Paul Anthony, Norfolk.
