I must say it’s so thick I couldn’t even put the Ronseal or Cuprinol in the pot without spilling it using a ladle, that was about the only thing that really annoyed me. One of the most difficult areas however to find the right paint is with wood, as there are seemingly endless numbers of wood treatments that use different terminology.

In terms of time between coats, I am supposed to leave it four hours, but since I want you to see just how good (or bad) one coat looks, I am giving it a whole night to set. Garden fences provide the backdrop to outdoor living spaces and should complement their surroundings.They think it can be too dark and can have a heavy effect on an outdoor space, when a garden should be light and joyous.

If the fence has been previously painted and there is peeling or flake paint, remove this using a paint scraper. I must confess I haven’t because I always use the best fence paint, in this case Cuprinol Duckbacks 5 year waterproof For sheds and fences. I therefore purchased Ronseal FenceLife Plus+ ‘Dark Oak’ colour and have used that, two coats for many of the panels and will obviously continue with that for the remaining panels. Because you can use it on both woodwork and masonry posts (see our Pliocem Masonry Paint for a higher grade coating), it’s great for coordinating.
