About this deal

On the plus side, being a water based paint with a wax addictive, this is a plant and animal friendly paint once dried, which is good to know for a keen gardener such as myself who likes to do all he can to keep his botanical babies looking their best. The Wagner was so impressive I turned down the power of the spray for the Ronseal – this also looks totally full and lovely in colour: Ronseal fence life plus – second coat It’s quite versatile in the way it can be diluted and then applied to any fence or wooden shed using a paint sprayer, or used as-is with a brush for doing the finer final touches round the edges.

Another fantastic product from Johnstone’s, this one coat shed & fence paint is definitely up there with the best on offer, but does it live up to it’s ‘one coat’ name like Ronseal’s offering?The speed at which this fence paint dries is impressive, and it is said to be showerproof after just an hour. The weather was good on the day we were testing the product, but we gave it a light sprinkling with the garden hose to see if the claims were true, and I’m very happy to report that they were.

What a vast improvement. If you appreciate wood like I do, you really will appreciate just how well this enhances the grain and really draws it out with a deeper, shinier look. And it isn’t too shiny either like varnish in my opinion. The closest comparable is teak oil. The Vonhaus sprayer was responsible for the Ronseal life plus. I have to say it was lighter to use but still no where near as comfortable as the Wagner. Again to an extent I’d ask you to look at the second coat application in the video to be sure. Here’s after the first coat though: Ronseal Fence Life Plus Paint– first coat Don’t worry, I recorded the results every coat anyway as I already mentioned 🙂 so the test is essentially 400ml and 800ml per panel when broken down!Best oil based fence paint: Creocote wood fence treatment– beautifully enhances the wood appearance just like teak oil but for a fraction of the price. [tested personally and proven] Wax enriched, it provides a really good level of water resistance, making it ideal for not just fences but sheds, wendy houses, tree houses, and wooden garden furniture too. We gave it our hosepipe test, and was happy to see the water simply bead up and run off the surface. Overall it’s hard for me to ignore this, especially after the incredible job it made of painting my shed too. It’s pretty much perfect for any rough wood in the garden. And that’s probably it’s only fail point. DO NOT TRY TO USE THIS ON SMOOTH TIMBER– 😂 here’s a look at my total test fail: So this means with four different fence paints on test, and with sprayer used as a comparable as well. And then we are testing old and new panels. I am TESTING 8 PANELS total!! How glad to have the Wagner fence sprayer 😀 What paints did I test and why: Cuprinol vs Ronseal One Coat vs Ronseal Life Plus vs Creocote

This is a great fence paint to use for waterproofing purposes as it has been enriched with wax, and this just brings it to the next level of rain resistance. What’s more, just like with Ronseal’s best products, this one is showerproof after an hour or so. Here’s a look at my most recent before and after tests: So, here it is: My question is, and you may know the answer to this with all the stains and colours you have tested:

There is no need to have multiple products to make your metal fence look as good as new, as this one does it all, and can act as a primer, undercoat, and topcoat, and the results are outstanding, leaving you with a wonderful shiny, gloss finish. Do not use Creosote on smooth timber it will just run and look absolutely naff – you’ve been warned – Creocote tested by me, miserably on smooth timer – it needs a rough surface to absorb and even then it will drip. However, there were moments at first when I was a bit worried, as Johnstone’s paints look quite a different shade when you first apply them to when they are fully dried. This is true for most fence paints, but I’ve noticed that this is particularly true with Johnstone’s products, so please don’t be alarmed at first and give it time to dry. You’ll be happy in the end, trust me. In just over two hours, this fence paint will be dry and able to withstand the rain, but it hasn’t got the same formula as the newer Ronseal fence life plus to protect it from frost and UV. Haven’t said that, it does protect your wood from greying. Once set it looked absolutely superb – after using my fences to test various colours I will be settling on this – don’t panic until it’s set, below is the result you’ll get from two coats with the Wagner sprayer:
