Product Information

Fence Life Plus can be applied when the wood is damp, but not dripping wet. So if it’s rained that day, you need to wait for five hours before putting it on. Rough sawn wood requires two coats, smooth planed wood needs three coats and if you’re wood is weathered, you may need to apply an extra coat.

It might not be the most exciting task, but instead of staring at a patchy panel, you can have a fence that looks brand new. We vote for the paint job!We've rounded up the best fence paint to use in your garden and also if you've got metal gates or fencing that you think might need a bit of touching up. Not only will it save you money in the long run (because without the proper treatment, fences will rot and need replacing), it’s also an activity that you and the family can do together. Well, if you have older kids and willing teenagers anyway. If they won't help, well it's an excuse to get out of the house for a good few hours.

Staining will give you a more natural finish and will enhance the look of an already beautiful wooden fence. Stain also requires less maintenance than paint but comes at a higher cost.

Many different tools will help you achieve this and we'll talk about a few of them in this article. So, whether you're looking to paint, stain or treat your fence with a wax coating, we're certain we'll find the right paint and tools for you. If you get any Fence Life Plus on plants, paving or other surfaces, clean it up straight away with soapy water before it dries. Move along the full width of the fence panel, drop down and do the same again.Overlap each pass by 50% for proper coverage. On the other hand, the paint sits on top of the fence and is best if you're looking to completely transform the colour and look of your fence. The painting will also give you the option of multiple bright colours that can give your garden a complete revamp. In terms of cost, paint is also more cost-efficient in the short term.
