RONSEAL RSLFLPPS5L FLPPS5L Fence Life Plus+ Slate 5 Litre, 5 l (Pack of 1)

Product Information

Overall, it’s one of the best fence paints if you’re looking for something that will offer a good amount of protection to timber and it shouldn’t need repainting for several years. 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.

The thick viscosity of solvent-based paint often reduces the chance of drips, but it does take longer to dry. A cloth may be needed on standby to catch any drips, and any fence paint that gets onto the floor will need to be quickly washed off. Therefore, even if you can’t rely on there being no drizzle during the whole day, you can still pop some of this paint on during a dry window.You can choose from natural wood shades, with brown and red hues, or go for a pop of colour to really brighten up the garden. This Sadolin Shed and Fence Woodstain is the best fence paint if you’re looking for something that will freshen up the appearances of fences whilst also offering weather protection for several years.

It can be either brushed or sprayed on, although it’s worth noting that the paint is pretty thin and therefore drips are likely. There’s 6 L of fence paint in one tin which is enough to cover approximately 10 fence panels, and it’s available in different colours like ‘Autumn Red’, ‘Rich Oak’ and ‘Rustic Brown’. For example, if you have a lot of purple flowers in the garden, painting the fence and/or shed in the same colour can create a cohesive and strong theme for the space. And, of course, treating your fences regularly with a good fence paint will help protect them against the elements.Not only do most fence paints offer protection against the weather, they can also prevent mould and rotting and shield the wood from strong UV light that can cause the garden fence to dry out and crack. These are natural hues (like browns and greys) or shades which are more commonly found in the rainbow (reds, oranges, purples). Some products may be delivered straight to your door from one of our suppliers and these products will be labelled within the product description. These colours are on the opposite side of green on the colour wheel and contrast with the greenery of plants to make them stand out.

Occasionally, paint companies have been known to change their fence paint formula, which can slightly alter the colour of the paint. The viscosity is of this fence paint is quite thin, and it does have a tendency to run when applied. As a result, this is the best fence paint for those living in exposed areas, helping protect the wooden fence from rain, frost and snow.

The drying time between coats is around 2 – 4 hours and the overall drying time should no more than 5 hours in total. Unlike the Ronseal One Coat Life fence paint (also featured on this page), this Ronseal Fence Life Plus paint can be applied to both rough-sawn wood as well as smooth-planed timber. Although it achieves good coverage most of the time with just one coat, there are some instances where two coats might be required.
