    I find this paint absolutely rubbish, put on and ended up being patchy and ran off in chunks

    I usually power wash the shed and the fence first to remove dust dirt but mostly any green algae left after the winter , if this is not done it will dry patchy. I then leave it a couple of days in the warm sunshine to dry off then apply the coating paying particular attention to the top of fence posts and wooden slats as if this is not done the rain will go through the middle of the wood and rot it.

    I find the Harvest Brown is the nicest colour. I do not like the Harvest gold.

    I think theres a discussion to be had.

    If it waterproofs the wood, then it has to create a complete & unbroken skin around the entirity of each and every piece of wood on the fence?

    Imagine taking a big sponge cube, and wrapping it up in clingfilm. The entire thing should be waterproof, so no water can get in when your pour water on it. All sides are waterproofed.

    But

    If you make a small cut in the cling film, and pour water in. The water that is now inside, cannot escape easily - because the sides are waterproofed/cling-filmed.

    I suspect water is finding itself into the wood pieces somehow, and cannot dry off easily. This rots the wood inside out.

    I could be wrong - but this might be whats going on.

    Secondly, if you were to still use this - I would powerwash the fences first. Leave it for two days in high heat summer so that the wood is exceptionally dry, then proceed to coat the wood during the evening when its cooler - so the paste doesn't dry-out, before it can deeply fill the pores.

    I could be wrong.

    I'm sticking to the yearly non waterproof coating.

    This stuff is absolute garbage. The colours don't match the pictures on the can AT ALL. Harvest Gold for example looks like a golden brown on the can but comes out bright orange/ginger. So egregiously different than the can that they refunded me directly rather than returning to the retailer.
