Your entrance/ladder sign is treated with Rubio Monocoat Woodcream to give protection from the elements. It allows the wood to age naturally (it will grey with age), but protects it and makes it water-repellent.
The pearl effect (water-beading) will gradually diminish and treatment will be required, depending on the weather your sign is subjected to.

Installation
Fix your entrance/ladder sign into the ground with your preferred method. Stake posts or post holders are the easiest to remove in the future.
If installing straight into the ground/earth further treatment processes may be required, we recommend Bitumen paint for this. This may also be required if using post holders as water can ‘sit’ in the bottom of the post/stake holders.
