Product Information

When using a wood preservative prior to painting, it’s important to make sure that the preserver does not contain wax, oil or silicon. These types of wood preservative are often labelled as being water or weather resistant. If you’ve been feeling like your garden needs a bit of jazzing up, painting your wooden fence can really bring it up a level. All the above steps involve the necessary preparation for learning how to paint a fence. It will now be ready to receive your paintbrush. I just feel like the grain came out more on the Cuprinol and looked pretty dramatic. What do you think? This is totally a personal preference thing Coverage: With coverage of up to 6 square meters per litre, this paint offers great value for your money, allowing you to cover a larger area with fewer coats.

This depends on the condition of your fence panels, the paint you choose and how well you prep and paint. Most options here recommend one or two coats, and you can trust your eyes to know when the job is finished. Does the paint look like it has been applied evenly? Are you happy with how it looks colour-wise? Essentially, if the manufacturer states that one coat is sufficient and you’re happy with the finish, then one coat is all you need.

The colour of paint you choose for your garden fence ultimately comes down to personal preference. Earthy browns are popular because they enhance the natural colour of the timber, and tie in with the outdoors.

A 1 L tin provides enough fence paint to cover approximately 12 m² (approximately five fence panels), so it’s one of the more expensive options featured on this list, but the coverage is good and it’s easy to apply, often only requiring one coat. While a lot of new products are claiming to last for 4-5 years, Ronseal are a bit more conservative when it comes to this stuff, and say it will keep its colour for 2 years. When you consider that that is with only a single coat, it is still very impressive. So what I did was decided to lay a coat on a panel that’s already got some stain on it. I have to say the results were impressive again:Once set it looked absolutely superb – after using my fences to test various colours I will be settling on this – don’t panic until it’s set, below is the result you’ll get from two coats with the Wagner sprayer: These are the top fence care treatments that colour and protect wooden fences. Some of these products are actually wood stains but they all colour and protect wooden fencing and are often refered to as fence paints or paint for fences. Just make sure that you follow the instructions: wear gloves and a mask and take care to cover nearby surfaces from unwanted paint spatters.

Those of a certain age will remember a time when virtually everything that was made of wood in the garden was painted with Creosote. The sale of Creosote is now regulated and can only be sold to farmers and for other, regulated industrial uses. For the most part, the fence paint colour may look a little different to the swatch colour when first applied, but when dry it’s a better match; however, the ‘Autumn Red’ dries slightly more orange than you might expect.

It can be used on both sheds and fences. If you’re concerned that sprucing up your panels is going to draw attention to the poor repair of your concrete fence posts, then fear not: Sandtex Ultra Smooth Masonry paint can save the day. If spraying solvent-based preservers, is the sprayer compatible with solvent-based products? many pump sprayers are only designed for water or water-based products. Solvents may perish or degrade the washers, seals and hoses of some sprayers. This said, if the whole fence can be sprayed in just a few hours or a day or 2, it is probably worth the cost of the sprayer
