Ronseal RSLOCFLCE5L One Coat Fence Life, Red Cedar, 5 Litre

Product Information

A 1 L tin provides enough fence paint to cover approximately 12 m² (approximately five fence panels), so it’s one of the more expensive options featured on this list, but the coverage is good and it’s easy to apply, often only requiring one coat. The Bold Plum colour comes out as a bright, eye-catching purple that works for both furniture as well as fences.

Water-based paints extend well over surfaces and you won’t need to use chemicals to clean the brushes. Create a modern, minimalist look: in recent years, ‘chalky’ shades have become popular to give a modern look. 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. 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.

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.

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 are several colours in the Ronseal Fence Life range including: Gold, Medium Oak, and Dark Oak. If you are looking for something a bit jazzier for your garden, the ‘Bold Plum’ option in the Johnstone’s Garden Colours makes a striking impact. Although all fence paints will drip a little, this Cuprinol Less Mess Fence Care does a decent job of living up to its ‘Less Mess’ name. Ronseal One Coat Timbercare gives sheds, fences and other rough sawn wood rich colour in just one coat.

This creates a surface that is easy to wipe clean and can also achieve a better high-gloss finish compared to water-based paint. You can apply this opaque shed and fence treatment from the Ronseal Fence life range to all rough sawn sheds and fences, using a brush, to colour and provide protection. 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’. This means that the 5 L container holds enough product to cover approximately 30 m² (around six fence panels). Cuprinol Ducksback is suitable for smooth or rough-sawn wood and can therefore be used on fences, garden sheds and furniture.Better results will be achieved with several coats of paint, but there’s always a risk that it won’t turn out quite as vibrant as expected.

Overall, this is one of the best fence paints in terms of value; one tin of One Coat Fence Life can cover a large area and, given that most garden timber should only require one coat, it’s not too time consuming to apply either.Also, a further advantage of this fence paint is that it can be applied using a compressor and a spray gun (despite its relatively thick viscosity). Whether you choose a bright colour to add character or keep it classic with a neutral wood varnish, there’s something for everyone here. It can be applied using a roller, brush or paint sprayer and achieved good coverage with the paint spreading on well.
