Clive Harris is the creator of DIY Garden and a professional landscape gardening consultant with over 6 years experience. The other colours are Black Oak, Cornflower, Dark Oak, Forest Green, Harvest Gold, Red Cedar, Sage and Willow. Also remember that colours may also come out darker than expected, especially once dried, which can really change the look of a garden. 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.Both water-based paint and solvent-based paint can be used on exterior surfaces – as long as the specific paint products states that it’s suitable for this purpose. It’s a little more expensive than the other fence paints listed here, but it’s clear from online testimonials that it’s a thick, quality paint that gives good results. Cuprinol Garden Shades has been specially developed to colour and protect sheds, fences and other garden wood.

If you only have a small area to cover, then simply invest in a good quality, nylon bristle paint brush. This fence paint is not limited to use on rough-sawn timber and can be used on anything from garden fences to playhouses, and even wooden garden furniture. Also, a lot of solvent-based fence paints use VOCs (see above) which are considered bad for the environment.

The drying time between coats is around 2 – 4 hours and the overall drying time should no more than 5 hours in total. Some paints drip less than others, making them easier to apply with a brush – checking reviews online can give a good indication of which paints are easier to work with.
