Specifically designed for use on exterior wood, this paint is perfect for use on garden furniture, sheds, fences, and other outdoor woodwork. The range includes a variety of colours, from muted neutrals to bold brights, allowing you to create a unique and personalised outdoor space. The frequency with which you should paint or stain your fence depends on the type and condition of the wood, the climate in your area, and the quality of the product you've used. Begin by cleaning the fence thoroughly with soap and water, then sand or scrape off any loose or peeling paint.

Priming can help to ensure that the paint adheres properly to the surface, and can also help to seal the wood and prevent moisture from seeping in. Ronseal One Coat Fence Life is another popular option for outdoor fences. As its name suggests, it only requires one coat, which can save you time and effort. This paint is also rainproof in just one hour, making it a great choice for unpredictable weather conditions. It comes in a variety of colours and can be used on all types of wood. Stain is a great choice if you want to preserve the natural look of the wood, while also protecting your fence against the elements. Stain also tends to last longer than paint and is easier to maintain over time. Colours: Anthracite Grey, Cedar Redwood, Charcoal, Dark Brown, Dove Blue, Dusk Grey, Fir Green, Ivory, Labrador Blue, Light Grey, Light Ochre, Medium Brown, Nordic Red, Pebble Grey, Royal Blue, Signal Red, Sunflower Yellow, Traffic Grey, White, Your Choice of RAL shadeFor even more protection, you might consider Ronseal Fence Life Plus. This paint offers the same one-coat coverage as the original Fence Life but with the added benefit of a five-year guarantee against weather damage. If your fence posts are rusted, it's important to treat them properly before painting to ensure that the paint adheres properly and lasts as long as possible. However, if you want to add a pop of colour to your fence, the paint may be a better choice. Paint also provides a more uniform finish and can help to hide imperfections in the wood.

Whether to spray or hand paint a fence is a matter of personal preference and the size of the project. Hand painting can be more time-consuming and physically demanding, but it allows for greater control and precision.

The largest size that this paint comes in is a 2.5-litre tin, which covers up to 26 square meters per litre. As a rough estimate, five litres of paint should be enough to cover around 40 square meters of fence.
