DIY Project Painting a Fence with Sadolin Classic

Sadolin Classic Rosewood was used to repaint this garden fence. Sadolin Classic is a high quality long lasting Woodstain and can be used on a variety of surfaces such as decking, fencing, cladding, sheds, fascias, garden furniture and garden buildings.

This fence was looking rather tired and in need of some love so i decided to paint it in something that would last longer than standard fence paint. In previous years i have painted with a cheap fence paint however I was fed up of having to repaint every summer so I wanted to do a good job preparing the wood and then apply a product that would last. I decided to use Sadolin Classic which proved to be a very good choice. First I was impressed with the coverage of the product, I managed to cover the full fence with 5 litres. Previously when I have used Shed & Fence paint it has taken at least 10 litres to cover the same area so even though the Sadolin Classic was considerably more expensive for a 5 litre i have instantly used half the material which evens out the cost a little.

Here are the steps I took in order to prepare the surface & then apply the Sadolin Classic Rosewood.

• Step 1 - Apply Zinsser Mould Killer by spray to the entire surface. As there are trees and bushes around the fence there was quite a lot of green growth, it is important to get rid of and green growth as this will reduce the longevity of the product.

• Step 2 - After leaving overnight I used 120g Sandpaper to remove any remaining build up of mould or dirt etc.

• Step 3 - I applied Sadolin Classic with two brushes. For the front piece is used a 3" Hamilton Prestige Synthetic Brush and for the sides I used a round sash brush which was very effective.

Below is a before & after picture and also a list of the products I used!
