Bird Brand Superior Wood Preserver 5L
Bird Brand Superior Wood Preserver protects timber against three separate threats in one coat: blue stain fungus, wood-boring insects, and wet or dry rot. It’s a solvent-based, HSE-approved preserver designed to go underneath Bird Brand Complete Decking Oil, making it the base coat Masseys recommends for anyone building a full protection system on decking, sheds, fencing or structural timber.
What it protects against
- Blue stain and discolouring fungi — controlled by IPBC
- Wood-boring insects — prevented and treated using Permethrin
- Wet rot, dry rot and fungal decay — controlled by Tebuconazole
- Moisture damage — built-in water-repellent agents help shed rainwater rather than absorb it
Key features
Triple-active formula — Three separate active ingredients, each targeting a different cause of timber failure, rather than relying on one all-purpose chemical.
Low odour — Noticeably less smell than traditional solvent-based preservers, so it’s more practical to use in enclosed sheds or during warmer months when you’re working close to the house.
Even, higher-build finish — A balanced formula that stops pigment settling at the bottom of the tin, so you get consistent colour and coverage from the first brushful to the last.
Brush, roller or low-pressure spray application — Works with whichever application method suits the job, and penetrates both smooth-planed and rough-sawn timber.
Pairs with Bird Brand Complete Decking Oil — Designed as a base coat underneath Bird Brand’s Complete Decking Oil, in both Clear and Dark Brown, for a full two-stage protection system.
Where to use it
Structural beams and joists, fence panels, sheds, garden furniture, decking, and other outdoor timber that’s exposed to damp, insects or fungal risk.

FAQs
What does Bird Brand Superior Wood Preserver protect against? It protects against three things in one product: blue stain and discolouring fungi, wood-boring insects, and wet or dry rot, plus general moisture damage thanks to its water-repellent agents.
Can I put decking oil straight over the top? Yes — it’s specifically designed to sit underneath Bird Brand Complete Decking Oil in either Clear or Dark Brown, so the two products work as a matched two-stage system.
Does it smell strong like other solvent-based preservers? No — it’s formulated to be low odour compared with traditional solvent-based wood preservers, while keeping the same level of protection.
What colours does it come in? The full Bird Brand colour range is available to view and buy in-store at Masseys in Woodville.
Is it suitable for structural timber, or just garden furniture? Both — it’s rated for structural beams and joists as well as fencing, sheds, garden furniture and decking.
How is it applied? By brush, roller, or low-pressure spray, and it’s designed to penetrate both smooth and rough-sawn wood surfaces evenly.
