Durable

Once you apply the paint, you won't have to worry about it coming off soon. Our paints are strong and durable, made for outdoor challenges. This means they can withstand moisture, hot weather, and other destructive elements for a long time.

Weather Resistant

Our paints are specifically formulated to resist the harshest weather conditions. Whether it's rain, snow, or intense sun, the paint will keep your fence looking fresh and new, so you won't have to repaint every season.

Protects your Fence from Rot and Decay

Our paint forms a protective barrier against moisture, which is the leading cause of rot and decay in wood. Sealing out water helps extend your fence's life, keeping it strong and sturdy for years to come.

Protect Wood from UV

UV rays can cause wood to fade and deteriorate over time. Our paint includes UV inhibitors that protect the wood, preventing it from bleaching and breaking down. This keeps your fence looking vibrant and extends its lifespan.

FAQs

What is the best colour to paint an outdoor fence?

Start by opting for natural wood colours and neutral paint shades like grey and brown. If you're feeling adventurous, consider adding a pop of vibrance with deep blue or green. Or, for a more modern twist, try experimenting with bright white, dark grey, or black.

When should you not paint a fence?

We don’t recommend painting when it’s about to rain or when it's raining. Also, avoid painting when temperatures are lower than the freezing point. Freshly painted fences often freeze, compromising the painting process.

Is it better to paint a fence with a brush or roller?

It depends on the fence's size and style. A paint brush is good for tight spaces and corners, while a roller covers large areas quickly. You can combine both or choose what feels more efficient and comfortable.

Can you paint over old fence paint?

If you're painting over old fence paint, start by scraping off any loose paint. Applying multiple coats will give you a smoother finish when transitioning from a darker to a lighter colour. If any mould is present, thoroughly wash the fence and allow it to dry completely before applying a fresh coat of paint.

Can I paint my side of the neighbour's fence?

You can, as long as you get their permission. You don’t want the paint seeping through cracks, leaving ugly marks on their side. First, agree with the neighbour and only use high-quality fence paint.

Can you paint over green algae on a fence?

No, you should clean the algae off first. Painting over it can prevent the paint from adhering properly and cause it to peel.

Is it better to paint a fence dark or light?

It depends on your preference. Dark colours can make your garden look cosy, while light colours can create a brighter, more open feel.

What colour of fence paint makes a garden look bigger?

Brighter or lighter colours, such as white or light grey, can make a garden appear bigger.
