Fencelife alternative ?

deadl0ck

Hi all,
Is there a cheap fencelife alternative ?

I though I saw a post on boards before where someone said about B&Q doind a cheap version, but I can't find it now - D'Oh !

I've used the 5 year fencelife with 2 coats and it didn't last one year - it's absolutely crap (this was on post and rail fencing).
I'd rather get cheaper stuff and at least I know I'd have to re-paint it every year or 2.
Burnt oil / creosote isn't an alternative as it for around the house, and I don't want it sweating or any small kids going near it....

Fleetwood Trade Paints,B&Q,Woodies and some builders providers too.

You may need to shop around for the best price though.;)

10-13 euro or there abouts.

Holds up rather well to the elements too.:)

Interestingly, it says it's not sprayable - but it's water based : clicky
I reckon it's sprayable...
