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

Proper surface preparation is essential for the success of any protective coating system.
Here’s a concise guide for achieving excellent adhesion when painting over previously painted timber:
Preparation:
Scrape and Sand: Begin by scraping away any loose material and sanding down the remaining paint. This step ensures a smooth surface for the new paint to adhere to.
Clean Surface: Remove dust and debris from the timber surface.
Application of White Spirit:
Roller Application: It has been found to improve the adhesion of the first coat, apply a layer of white spirit using a roller to the surface. White spirit penetrates into the timber, helping to prepare it for the top coat.
Top Coat Application:
Immediate Application: Apply two coats of your desired top coat . The quick application of the first coat helps achieve better adhesion. Allow 12-24 hours between recoating. After this time has elapsed, light sanding will be required to achieve improved inter coat adhesion.
Remember to work in a well-ventilated area and follow safety precautions when handling paint and solvents.
For untreated timber or split timber, ensure knots, splits and nail heads are prepared correctly with the relevant preparation, e.g. knots to be sealed with a knotting solution / aluminium paint and nail heads filled in with an acrylic sealant, and splits filled in with a flexible wood filler.
Application:
Best results are obtained in warm (minimum 10°C), dry conditions.
Mix thoroughly for approximately 2 minutes using a drill stirrer. A wooden batten at least 25mm wide is also ideal.
Apply an even coat using a brush, short to medium pile roller on smooth surfaces and a long pile roller on textured surfaces
For spray application by either airless or conventional spray a dilution ration of no more than 10% is recommended with Palatine White Spirit by volume applying thin coats allowing each one to dry before applying subsequent coats.
Once dried, a second coat can be applied at full strength. This will prolong the life and performance of the coating.
Thinning and Cleaning: Use Palatine White Spirit.
If using more than one batch of the same colour, intermix before use
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.
