Fence Paint.

[kat-kin]

Any advice please. I've had to renew my old garden fences,7 in all. I was going to buy Cuprinol Fence Paint but a retired gardener told me its best to get Creosote or the substitute or any fence paint with preservative in. Any thoughts on this please?

I think that creosote is a banned substance in the EU nowadays.
Would stick with Cuprinol if it was me.

I thought that fence paint did have a preservative in it?

The answer seems to be that some do and some don't

Creosote cannot be sold to or used by the general public, it's available to 'Trade' only.
