Customer Reviews for Wolman 5 Gal. CopperCoat Green Below Ground Wood Preservative

June 20, 2023. We ordered the 6 pack online and it was shipped to the store for pickup within a few days. We coated 56 agricultural treated posts between 4 and 6 inch diameter. We coated 42 inches on the end going into the ground and 12 H braces since we had plenty of coating. We used gloves and a brush to apply outside. Time will tell, but we figured $100 is a good investment for our fence project.

Put on bottom of split rail fence post. I was under impression that it would be a faint color and would fade. It’s been 9 months and still looks terrible. It’s an ugly black against the natural cedar color. Am I supposed to paint the split rail? Ridiculous!

its about the only worthwhile wood treatment available in Florida its been used for wood preservative Copper naphthenate is an active ingredient used predominantly in industrial and commercial wood preservation for non-pressure (dip/brush/spray) and pressure treatments (vacuum/full cell) to protect against fungal rot, decay, termites and wood-boring insects in unfinished wood and various fabricated wood products.

I use Wollman Copper Coat for all of my custom mailboxes. The bottom and first 24” always get a good coating of product before paint. Any time PT wood goes in the ground, cut ends need recoating!

Is very good

Good Instructions for application as well as where the product should not be used (vegetable gardens, fruit shrubs and trees, etc). Too early to tell how effective the product is. Need 5 to 25 years to determine the efficacy of the product.

This stuff is potent! The case I received of four one gallon cans came with a convenient pourable spout mounted to the lid. While pouring out of a full can the flimsy bottom of the can "oil canned" causing a belch of the fluid all over my hand. Rinsed with water as directed but my finger tips were numbed for hours and my hand stunk. Wear chemical resistant gloves and eye protection when using this product. I think the bugs and rot spores are going to get a little numb as well if they get close to CopperCoat

I was able to use this product to coat/protect the bottom of my fence posts and it worked great. I used the dip method and thought it worked much better than painting it on. Highly recommend but use precaution when handling the product.

This product is one of the best wood preservatives I have ever used. I highly recommend Woodlife® for all applications where the wood may come in contact with the Earth. Unfortunately, you will have to order online as it is not a stock item and your local Home Depot. Where I want the project to look aged I mix 50/50 Woodlife® and black latex paint. When dry it will provide a weathered gray appearance and greatly extent the life of the wood. I have also done the same using red latex to offer a weathered redwood aspect. Application is easy using a brush, roller, airless spray or dip. Regardless I highly suggest that you use latex or rubber gloves. Cleanup is a breeze using soap and water.

I used to use old fir logs for fence posts untreated for a quick fence but after awhile they rotted at ground level. but I put up a fence around my garden using 7 foot lengths of Doug fir for post and braces and soaked in this stuff they not only look good and rustic but they're still holding up strong even the partly rotted brace. It's good stuff, but the smell stays with you awhile. I'd suggest wearing gloves and coveralls when using it.

Wasn’t what I expected

I believe that this will be a good purchase. Only time will tell for sure but I know that the product was easy to apply. It readily soaked into the wood and you could tell by the smell that it was copper based. Very similar to products that I have used in the past but have not been able to obtain in recent years.

the product was great

Product as expected. Time will tell how well it works.

Product was received in a timely fashion and in good condition. It is easy to apply and , so far, performs as advertised.

worth protecting- went on easy

Good product easy to apply and so far great protection for the wood

Woodlife Coppercoat is an excellent as an extra barrier to rot.

Yes, between spring and fall of 2022 they jacked up the price for 5gal from $108 or something to $280 Come on, that's just greedy. It was a fine product but it's not worth being price gauged. Copper napthanate is an old product, not proprietary, I'd suggest finding a different company and retailer.

Went on well, better coverage than I expected. Now we will see how long the posts last in the ground.

Can you explain to me how the price of this product went from $107.05 to $280 in a month???? That’s close to 166 percent price increase. I’ll definitely be shopping else where

Very good. Came in a 5 gallon bucket too

I found this for far less at other online retailers (also with free shipping). The product works VERY well, but HD price is almost double what some others are charging. Also I bought 2, 5-gal pails of this a few years ago and it was much cheaper then. I'm not sure what's going on, but I'm not paying $280 for something that I can get for $147 elsewhere.

great product but went back to purchase again and the price has gone up over $130
