Fence paint is a specialist treatment designed for exterior wood, helping to protect timber from rain, UV light, and other elements that cause it to weather over time. Unlike retail paints that sit on the surface, trade paints are formulated to penetrate deeply into the wood grain for enduring protection.
Many formulas are wax-enriched, creating a water-repellent finish that resists cracking, fading and moisture damage.

Designed for exterior surfaces: Ideal for backyard fences, sheds, gates, and all exposed timber structures.
-
Easy to apply: Can be brushed, rolled or sprayed for even coverage and faster results.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are you curious to know how to paint fences or when to repaint? Below are expert answers to the questions we see most from UK homeowners and decorators.
Paint adds colour and surface protection, forming a barrier over the timber. A fence treatment is more penetrative; it’s engineered to soak into the timber, resisting rot, fungal attack, and dampness from within. Many trade-grade products combine both uses in one coat.
With good preparation and application, a high-quality paint can last up to five years before needing a refresh. In high-rainfall areas, expect to recoat every 3-4 years.
Watch for early signs like fading, peeling, or the timber turning grey. If you live near the sea or in exposed locations, you should repaint every 3 to 5 years. Otherwise, a 5-year cycle is standard.
Aim for a dry, mild day between 10 °C and 25 °C, with no rain forecast for at least 24 hours. Avoid applying in direct sunlight, as the paint may dry too quickly, causing uneven adhesion.
Measure the area in square metres (or square feet) and consult the application rate on the product. Always plan for two coats and a little extra for overage.
Allow new, pressure-treated timber to settle and dry for 3-4 weeks before you apply paint or stain. Painting too early can lead to peeling or poor adhesion.
