We too used Ducks back on fence panels it is more expensive but did hope it would last longer and protect from weathering, but we have been disappointed.

I’ve got Willow on my fences. It lasts really well. The shed is creosoted as I find this works well to preserve it. I’ve had it for 23 years now.

What colour is the creosote?

If so which colour have you used for fences arbours sheds please would love to see the pics for inspiration !

Bought Cuprinol Arabian sands, didn’t last too long, valspar paint mixed at b & q, great coverage for the shed, done 5 yrs ago, still looks good

I've used Seagrass on my sheds .
It's such a pretty soft green colour .
I also like Willow and Coastal Mist .

I've used Coastal Mist and Seagrass on outdoor wood and also on wicker baskets I'm using for plant pots. It's really good at protecting the surfaces.

Pics taken in the winter
A corner of the potting shed and the view of the side of the cabin, the patio needs a steam clean!

My potting shed and the cabin are in shades of blue, it’s very thin so goes on easily, dries very quickly so I do 2 coats every 2/3 years.

We have willow on our fences and shed. Looks lovely.

We have two large, unused cans in the garage. Not enough time to do everything. 😢

My garden shed is Cornflower blue and I’ve outdoor cushions the same colour on my chairs.
It’s lasted for years, but I think I might give it another coat this year.

Yes I used Seagrass on the summer house and Natural Stone on the potting shed and they still look good 3 years on. I also risked a couple of coats of Seagrass on the old fence I share with my neighbour and I was surprised how well it came up.

I used Seagrass for my garden shed and garage door lots of compliments on the colour. I’ve only just repainted them after 4 yrs it weathered well.

Yes, I used Coastal Mist or Cornflower Blue. I'd need to go down to the shed to check which! It goes on easily and wears well with the battering the weather gives it.
