Fence Protector Triple Award Winner

Product Information

Take care not to get over-spray onto the neighbours side of the fence, their home, car or anything else Painting a lighter colour over a darker one will likely always result in some of the base colour showing through. Better results will be achieved with several coats of paint, but there’s always a risk that it won’t turn out quite as vibrant as expected. Cuprinol vs Ronseal fence paint – my opinion there is no competition – Cuprinol every time. Remember that’s just my opinion from experience and prolonged use. It was so good on the shed I thought I’d paint the fence gate too. Nope. Total fail 😀 It reminds me – do not get this on anything that won’t clean up – it stains badly. Top tip that. Wide range of colours: Unlike wood stains, fence paints come in a wide variety of colours, allowing you to unleash your creativity and find the perfect match for your garden's style. Who doesn't love a bit of personalisation?

However with that all said, this is a shed at a different angle – they would both need to be in view to be obviously noticeable I think – I hope this helps. Can I change my fence colour from red/brown to grey? Another fantastic product from Johnstone’s, this one coat shed & fence paint is definitely up there with the best on offer, but does it live up to it’s ‘one coat’ name like Ronseal’s offering? Characteristics of a solvent-based wood preservers are that the liquid is very thin and has a strong, solvent odour due to the high V.O.C content. Solvent-based preservatives tend to be very thin in consistency and can splash when being poured from the tin. Coloured preservers can stain patios, concrete, stone, slabs and other surfaces so care needs to be taken when pouring. Water-based fence preservativesThe speed at which this fence paint dries is impressive, and it is said to be showerproof after just an hour. The weather was good on the day we were testing the product, but we gave it a light sprinkling with the garden hose to see if the claims were true, and I’m very happy to report that they were. In just over two hours, this fence paint will be dry and able to withstand the rain, but it hasn’t got the same formula as the newer Ronseal fence life plus to protect it from frost and UV. Haven’t said that, it does protect your wood from greying. Cuprinol Less Mess Fence Care in Woodland Green is a water-based paint designed to give your fence a fresh, vibrant look while providing essential protection from the elements. With built-in UV protection, your fence will maintain its colour for longer, and the weather-resistant formula ensures that your fence stays free from damage caused by rain, wind, and other environmental factors. After the extensive testing of Cuprinol, Ronseal, and Creocote I learned a few things that will save you a total melt down. Sound dramatic? Take a look at this disaster 😀 Creocote is incredible on rough timber but a total fail on smooth timber This fence paint is wax enriched, which helps with repelling water from the surface, and it offers an all-weather barrier to protect exterior wood. The ‘Ebony Wood’ is perfect for anyone wishing to create dark, striking fences.

Another benefit of this fence paint is that it can be applied on either damp or dry wood, although it still needs to be applied on a dry day. This means that even if there have been a few days of rain, you can still paint your fence or shed once the sky clears. And to understand the slight different colour it’s produced, here is a look at a fence panel that was unpainted before using Cuprinol fest paint: A fence panel that has never been painted before, then coated with one coat of Cuprinol fence paint

Ronseal fence paint has long been a preferred option for numerous UK garden enthusiasts, and its appeal is easy to understand. The brand offers an extensive array of both traditional and unconventional shades, making it simple to discover the ideal hue for any garden. However, it’s not just the impressive colour range that contributes to Ronseal fence paint’s popularity; it also possesses exceptional protective features. If you are willing to be a bit more daring with your fence colour, then a soft pink is the perfect colour, especially in the sunshine and when the sun sets,' says Kelly Friel at Zoro . 'Lighter colours can often blur the boundaries of your garden and can make it feel bigger.' Cuprinol Garden Shades Paint: A water-based garden paint that’s ideal for all garden wood. Provides up to 6 years protection and available in many popular shades including several grey tones 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. Always cover and protect items and areas not to be treated, especially stone, concrete, plastic surfaces and plants, and especially if applying a coloured preserver. Coloured wood preservers will easily stain these surfaces and could ruin some types of plastic. Sealing in a fence preservative

If you need to give your metal fencing a much-needed makeover, then Direct to Rust Metal Paint from Hammerite is a hassle-free, time-saving option. Any solvent-based wood preservative can be used on wooden fence panels meaning that it doesn’t necessarily have to be labelled as a ‘shed and fence preservative’. Solvent-based preservers are generally absorbed easier by fence timbers than water-based products, meaning deeper penetration in to the timber panels. Solvent-based wood preservatives are available in clear and coloured formulations from brands such as Ronseal, Cuprinol and Sadolin.On that note, let’s take a look at the durability. This fence paint offers good weather protection from rain, snow, frost and UV damage, with the colour lasting for around five years. Coverage: With coverage of up to 6 square meters per litre, this product offers less coverage compared to other options on the market, which may require more coats to achieve the desired finish. Fence Stains: Water and oil-based fence stains are very much like garden paints. They seal, protect and weatherproof wooden fences and are available in a range of colours from brands such as Ronseal, Cuprinol and more. However, there were moments at first when I was a bit worried, as Johnstone’s paints look quite a different shade when you first apply them to when they are fully dried. This is true for most fence paints, but I’ve noticed that this is particularly true with Johnstone’s products, so please don’t be alarmed at first and give it time to dry. You’ll be happy in the end, trust me. An exterior wood oil will protect garden fences from weathering and keep the wood supple and nourished. With a range of clear and coloured wood oils available, which oil-based fence treatment is best? Our guide will help you decide

It’s quite versatile in the way it can be diluted and then applied to any fence or wooden shed using a paint sprayer, or used as-is with a brush for doing the finer final touches round the edges. So this means with four different fence paints on test, and with sprayer used as a comparable as well. And then we are testing old and new panels. I am TESTING 8 PANELS total!! How glad to have the Wagner fence sprayer 😀 What paints did I test and why: Cuprinol vs Ronseal One Coat vs Ronseal Life Plus vs Creocote What a vast improvement. If you appreciate wood like I do, you really will appreciate just how well this enhances the grain and really draws it out with a deeper, shinier look. And it isn’t too shiny either like varnish in my opinion. The closest comparable is teak oil.
