There are many things to think about when choosing the best paint for wood. First of all, you want to make sure it is going to be well protected. There are a few things that it will need to be protected from. You need to make sure that it will hold up in all weather conditions, mainly the rain. If the paint you are using on your fence is not waterproof, it isn’t going to last very long. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is also good to look for a paint that will prevent the wood from rotting. Some paints will do this by soaking into the wood and covering the inside, as well as the outside. Another common problem with wooden fences is bites from insects. A paint that will protect the fence from these things will make it last much longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The length of time that the fence will stay protected is also an important factor to consider. If the paint will lose its protection after a few months, you will need to re-apply it again. Some paint manufacturers will give a guarantee on how long their paint will stay protected. This gives you a good indication on how long you have before you will need to treat the wood again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your choice of paint will depend on what kind of look you want. Do you want the wood effect to show through? This question will sway your choice when looking for the best fence paint. A paint that stains the wood will show the wood effect, which can look really nice. However, if you use a paint that does not penetrate the wood, it will sit on top and you will not see that same effect, but it can often make it look more vibrant. You also need to think about what finish you will use. You can use a satin finish but gloss will be more shiny. A matte finish will look more smooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A big problem with wood paint is flaking. Over time, some paints will start to peel and this will make it look very messy. It is a good idea to look for one that is less likely to do this. It is not always obvious if this will happen or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do you need to use paint that is specific for fences or should you just buy the best exterior wood paint you can find? This really depends on your intended use. If you are only wanting to paint your fence, then you have a lot more choice. However, if you are wanting to paint other things in your garden – such as your shed – the same colour, you will need to use something that is suitable for both jobs. This is something to think about. There are even paints that can be used on many different surfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
