The LifeTime Wood Treatment product is ideal for this type of project: it can be used on all types of exterior wood species, as well as on various other projects such as docks, culverts, exterior siding, garden furniture, decks, gazebos, etc.

LifeTime Wood Treatment is a treatment that only needs to be applied once in a lifetime. No new application is required during the entire life of the initially treated wood. It is not necessary to apply a protective product on wood that has already been treated with LifeTime.

The time it takes for the wood to turn gray using the LifeTime Wood Treatment depends on several factors, such as the wood species, the orientation of the wood exposed to UV rays, and the color of the wood. In general, the wood graying process starts almost immediately after applying the product. However, it can take from a few months to a few years for the entire wood to turn completely gray, especially if it is minimally exposed to sunlight and rain.

The LifeTime treatment is not a stain but a non-toxic wood treatment. Instead of sealing the wood, this treatment allows the wood to breathe and age naturally.

It is possible to apply colored wood stains over a LifeTime treatment, but commercial stains do not provide the accelerated aging function that is an essential characteristic of the LifeTime process. Therefore, using this type of stain is not particularly beneficial.

Although it is technically possible to add dyes or tinting pastes to LifeTime to achieve a stain effect, we do not recommend it due to the maintenance challenges of this coloring over time. The desired effect with LifeTime should be a natural coloration that varies in shades of gray depending on the wood species used.

In conclusion, the LifeTime treatment only requires a single initial application, followed by regular maintenance each year using a brush and water.
