Hello @ThomasOmalley 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us and thanks for sharing your question about oiling your deck.

I believe they are suggesting not to oil your deck when the sun is at its peak. If you were to start your oiling early morning at around 6:00 a.m. you would have enough light to see what you're doing and where you're applying the oil. By the time 10:00 a.m. rolls around the sun will start to travel to its highest point. At this time, I suggest taking a break and wait for the peak hours to pass and continue on later when the sun begins to set or when the sun is not shinning directly on your deck.   

Let me call on our experienced members @Dave-1and @Nialbag for their recommendations.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
