Product Information

It soaks in to the wood as opposed to sitting on the surface, which can make for a longer-lasting finish. As a general rule, darker colour fence paints may be able to get away with one coat, depending on the original colour of the wooden fence. Johnstone’s Garden Colours is quite thick, with a ‘waxy’ texture, and may need at least two coats for full coverage.

The formula is neither excessively thick nor thin, and it doesn’t run too much or create a lot of drips. It’s also harder to clean any areas where paint has dripped, as well as the paint brushes, without using chemicals like white spirit. 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. Overall, this is one of the best fence paints if you want a quality, premium option that will offer excellent protection. Ronseal Fence Life Plus gives 5 year protection on all rough sawn and smooth planed sheds and fences.It can be applied using either a paint sprayer or a brush (although a brush is recommended due to the waxy consistency). This fence paint is designed to offer long lasting protection to your fence – it contains algaecides and fungicides to fight off mildew and will also help prevent weather damage.

Create a modern, minimalist look: in recent years, ‘chalky’ shades have become popular to give a modern look. When applying with a brush it doesn’t produce a lot of drips, although older wood may need a good few coats.

From plum, to lime, to berry, there are a lot of loud colour options available in this Johnstone’s Garden Colours range, as well as some more neutral tones like ‘Vintage Rose’ and ‘Natural Vanilla’. If you’re keen to save time, and you don’t want any nasty surprises, check out the reviews for information about how many coats your fence paint will need. Not only do most fence paints offer protection against the weather, they can also prevent mould and rotting and shield the wood from strong UV light that can cause the garden fence to dry out and crack.

Look for paint that can be used on wrot timber as well as rough-sawn timber if you want to paint furniture as well as fences.This is both a blessing and a curse; the paint can be applied with a sprayer, and is quick to put on regardless of what technique is used, but it can get messy.
