Fences painted AT LAST!!

Finally painted my fences today in the persisting down rain!!

 

That looks great al i know it wasnt the colour i opted for on the vote but you made the right decision

 

Thanks joolz. It was bucketing it down on and off today, but I wasn't putting it off any longer. I need to paint the gravel boards now and that's that job done.

 

Last one

 

Love the lucifer stands out against the fence colour keep ya eye on that gunnera thou(if it is gunnera) ours is huge this yr x

 

Red stands out fantastically.

It's a rheum joolz, so won't get anywhere near as big as a gunnera (hopefully!)

 

Very smart:WINK1:

 

You could eat ur dinner of that lawn!it all looks so perfect good job al x

 

That looks really good Al!! Like!

 

That looks fab al.
Just wished that one of my local DIY shops would have it in stock
What make did you use al?
Did you use fence paint on the posts too?
Found some online though

I used cuprinol shades. I bought it in homebase, and yes, used it on the posts. It's quite thin in texture, so can run. The gravel boards are getting painted in sandtex magnolia rather than the cuprinol black.

Thank you for the comments, it's nice that someone else likes it as well as myself ( the wife does not though!)

Edited to add, I bought 3, 5L tins of the stuff and have done 12 fence panels and posts with 1 1/2 tins. I am thinking of painting the shed black now though, and the gate

 

I think It sets off all the plants really well!

 

An essentially English garden that you can be proud of Al. I'd love to sit up on that garden seat with a cuppa looking across your garden. Bet it looks equally good from upstairs too.
Ooooh , I just love seeing members' gardens,
thank you

looking good, i bet your arms ached afterwards

 

We had a new fence put up earlier this year and what you've done has me wondering how it would look on our fence. I think it might make it seem smaller as our garden isn't as open as yours.
