Product Description
Farm Fence Paint is a solvent-borne, Linoleic Rich, matt, oil based coating for fences and outdoor wood. This product is formulated as a superior alternative to shorter term products where initial appearance and costs often outweigh performance and opacity. This product provides a durable long term protective coating suitable for exterior use on most types of wood.
Because you can use it on both woodwork and masonry posts (see our Pliocem Masonry Paint for a higher grade coating), it’s great for coordinating. Use on a variety of different fence types such as Close Board, Waney Lap, Feather Board, Tongue and Groove, Weaved and Picket Fences. Farm Fence Paint is a great choice for your protective, decorative coating needs.
For wood treatments and wood preservers please take a look at other products in the wood section.
Alongside the ready made colours for the Farm Fence Paint we also have the facility to match to RAL Classic / BS 4800 / BS 381C colour codes. If you’re looking to brighten up your garden, or blend in an ugly structure unobtrusively or need a particular shade of dark grey fence paint there is a shade for you. Just add the code in the comments section when ordering online.
The correct solvent for thinning and cleaning for this product is Palatine White Spirit

Preparation
Surface Condition: Surfaces must be clean, dry, and free from loose dirt, debris, algae, and mildew. Use a stiff brush, broom, or power washer to clean stubborn areas.
Previously Painted/Treated Wood: * Scrape away any loose or flaking material and sand the surface to create a “key” for better adhesion.
* For pressure-treated or previously painted timber, always carry out a small test patch to ensure compatibility and adhesion.
Untreated/Porous Wood: * For very porous timber, a solvent-based sealer is recommended to prevent inconsistent color absorption.
* For untreated wood, while this paint is often self-finishing, a wax-free wood primer or preserver can be used to improve longevity.
Repairs: Replace rotting wood and fill splits or nail heads with suitable flexible wood filler or acrylic sealant. Seal knots with knotting solution if necessary.
Surroundings: Protect the ground with sheeting and cut back any vegetation that might touch the wet paint.
Mixing
Stirring: Use a drill stirrer or a wooden baton (at least 2 inches wide). The product must be thoroughly stirred to a uniform consistency before use.
During Use: Stir periodically during application to prevent the settlement of pigments.
Application
Method: Apply by brush, solvent-resistant roller, or spray (airless or conventional).
Technique:
* Brush/Roller: Apply evenly following the grain of the wood. Work from top to bottom to catch any drips.
* Spray: Dilute by no more than 10% using Palatine White Spirit. Apply thin coats and allow each to dry before the next.
Conditions: * Minimum application temperature is 10°C.
* Avoid applying in extreme heat, direct sunlight, or if rain is expected.
Coats: Two coats are recommended for a vibrant, durable finish. The first coat can be thinned slightly with white spirit on bare wood to improve penetration, while the second should be applied at full strength.
Please note: The colours on the product listings are only given as a guide. This is due to the fact that every computer monitor has a different capability to display colours. In addition, everyone sees these colours differently. Sample pots are available to order upon request. Always carry out a test patch (approximately 100x100mm) before full application to ensure compatibility with previous coatings and the substrate, and to ensure the colour achieved meets your requirements. Failure to do so will result in a product refund claim not being accepted.
