Frequently asked questions about Tenco stain
What is the difference between Tenco Tuindecor and Tencomild?
Tuindecor is transparent, leaving the grain visible; Tencomild is opaque and blocks UV more strongly.
Can I use Tenco stain on Douglas fir?
Yes. To retain the colour, we recommend a UV-resistant Tenco/Douglas stain and periodic maintenance. See also maintaining Douglas fir.
What container size do I need?
As a rough guide, allow 8–12 m² per litre per coat, depending on absorption. For large fences, 5 or 10 litres is often more practical.
