Some paints may need to be diluted first before they can be used in a spray gun, which may affect their quality or how many coats are required. Cuprinol’s Ducksback gets its name from its exceptional ability to repel water while preserving its vibrant colour for up to 5 years. Although all fence paints will drip a little, this Cuprinol Less Mess Fence Care does a decent job of living up to its ‘Less Mess’ name. When applying with a brush it doesn’t produce a lot of drips, although older wood may need a good few coats. It soaks in to the wood as opposed to sitting on the surface, which can make for a longer-lasting finish.

This Sadolin Shed and Fence Woodstain is the best fence paint if you’re looking for something that will freshen up the appearances of fences whilst also offering weather protection for several years. I’m focusing this review on the Dark Oak colour which dries as a dark chocolate and has a matt finish. Plus, just like the Johnstone’s fence paint above, this stuff is fade-resistant and water-resistant too. There’s 5 L of fence paint in one tin, so in terms of value-for-money this Sadolin paint sits roughly on par with the Cuprinol fence paint, making it a mid-range option.

This wax-fortified paint works wonders on any fence, furnishing excellent protection while simultaneously enhancing its overall aesthetics. In terms of application, the thick viscosity is what makes Cuprinol Ducksback easy to apply without mess. Like a lot of painting questions, this comes down to personal preference and what colour you would like your fence to be.

This water-based paint can be applied to different types of wood and the Johnstone’s Garden Colours range comes in vibrant colours that add plenty of interest to the garden.

We have chosen the Botanical Retreat colour, which is a baby blue coloured fence paint, but there are loads of beautiful fence paints to choose from. You can apply this opaque shed and fence treatment from the Ronseal Fence life range to all rough sawn sheds and fences, using a brush, to colour and provide protection. Essentially, this patio and fence cleaner is designed to eliminate various elements that contribute to the aging and potential rotting of your fence. An additional benefit of this paint is that it is available in 9-litre containers, making it ideal for expansive gardens or larger projects.

By choosing Cuprinol, you can achieve both long-lasting protection and a vibrant, refreshed appearance for your outdoor space. Ronseal One Coat Timbercare gives sheds, fences and other rough sawn wood rich colour in just one coat. The paint dries as either the water or solvent dissolves, and both types of paint have their advantages and disadvantages.
