Cuprinol 5083469 Garden Shades Exterior Woodcare, Black Ash,2.5L

Product Information

A. Absolutely! Cuprinol Garden Shades is suitable for any garden structure including summerhouses and log cabins. If it's a bare wood structure, new or old, its probably worth treating it with a wax free wood preservative first to protect the wood from mould, algae and fungi. Allow this to fully dry before painting. Its important than any preservative used is wax free otherwise the paint may not adhere to the structure. Apply second coat as above. The second coat must be applied the same day as the first. If the first coat is left to dry overnight then the second coat will not adhere to the surface correctly Against neutral house exteriors or stone, the olive green creates a noticeable contrast for definition. Amazing what a bit of garden paint can do!

Q. I want to use a wood preserver on my garden fencing before painting with Cuprinol Garden Shades. Which one should I use? The soft white tone complements just about any garden style, from traditional to modern. It won’t clash. A beautiful shade of green allows for bright colours to be used in the garden. Cuprinol Willow Cuprinol Garden Shades offer a wide variety of colours and finishes to choose from. Here are some of the best options to consider and where to use them: Cuprinol Fence Paint Colours I present to you my fence! And patchy grass (we’re working on it!)

Don't apply in temperatures below 5°C, in damp conditions or if rain is likely before the product has dried. Low air temperature and or high humidity may prolong the overall drying time of the product. A. It depends on how long ago your shed and fence panels where oiled. Cuprinol Garden Shades paint is a water based product so any remaining oil or wax from previous treatments will likely repel the paint. If the timber hasn't been treated for a couple of years it may be OK. In situations like this we always recommend a test area before starting the main project to test adhesion. As Garden Shades often goes on directly to the wood, without a primer, sometimes it will soak deep into the wood and this can create the need for a third coat. This may be noticeable with rougher woods, open end grains or indeed deep colours. If wood has been exposed and dried out for a long period of time, this may also draw the more of the product away from the surface and into the wood structure.

Thankfully, I only needed to apply one coat as it applied really well and easily. We have concrete bollards holding up the fence panels and I did consider painting them as well, but in the end, I went with painting a pattern onto them with Iris to create a bit of a feature.Sun exposure – Lighter tints hold up better in direct sun over time than darker shades which can fade faster.
