Choosing the Right Paint for Your Fence

Navigating Fence Paint Options


We often receive questions about paint colours for fences, especially those we’ve installed, as the panels can start to fade slightly after about 8 months. When it comes to repainting your fence, I always recommend using Cuprinol. It is available in various sizes, ranging from 2.5L to 9L, to suit your needs.


Top Fence Colour Choices we see in 2024:


Cuprinol Silver Copse Fence Paint - 



A contemporary, stylish option complements modern gardens beautifully. This colour is perfect for those who want to achieve a modern, sleek look for their outdoor space. The Silver Copse shade offers a subtle yet sophisticated grey tone that blends well with any garden decor.
