Why use black fence paint?
A black fence provides a fantastic frame to any garden. If you want to display vivid blooms beautifully, a black fence can work wonders. It creates a versatile canvas to showcase bright flowers in purples, reds, pinks and yellows. Rather than blending in with their surroundings, plants can shine against the dark surface. If you want to make more of this feature, details such as mirrors, outdoor artwork or lighting will elevate the look even further and add interest to your panels. For most fences, acrylic-latex paint is the better choice for practicality and longevity.
What is the best black fence paint?
That would be Royal Exterior Black. Often used by Alan Titchmarsh and the team on ITV's, Love Your Garden Team. Black is a great background colour for planting- greens and white look particularly good and really ‘pop’ against it but It also allows items to disappear.

Applying Black Fence Paint
Brush or Spray?
If you have a large area to paint and are intending to use a sprayer, then you should look at Shed & Fence, Timber Eco Shield or Woodstain & Protect. All of those products are sprayable, and each have their merits as to which one is right for you. If you have the time to apply by brush and require a solid paint like finish, then Royal Exterior will provide the best finish in the least coats.

We look at the difference between the black wood stains and the black wood paints
Timber Eco Shield
Timber Eco Shield is a long lasting wood stain, with a lifespan of up to 4 years. It is a sprayable product, and customers usually apply just a single coat. The grain is visible when it dries, however a second coat will really deepen the colour of the fence. Just rinse out the brush under the tap when done.
Woodstain & Protect
Ebony Woodstain & Protect is a trusted favourite for all garden makeovers. A versatile coloured protective coating perfect for fencing, sheds, playhouses, animal housing and will even adhere to masonry and terracotta pots. Not as opaque as the Royal range, but subsequent coats will really deepen the colour.
Shed & Fence
Shed & Fence will give you the same look as Timber Eco Shield, but it doesn't last as long. If you're happy to paint every year or so, then this is the option for you. It gives outstanding coverage for the money, especially if you use a sprayer. If applying by brush it's easy to clean under the tap.
Royal Exterior
The King of Paints. Use Royal Exterior when you want the best finish and the longest time between painting. Apply by brush only, simply because the thickness of the products means it can't go through the sprayer. Used time and time again by the professionals who have tried everything on the market.
Stable Coat
Specifically formulated for animal buildings, the stable coat is an extremely water repellent coating specifically designed to produce a waterproof coating on pressure-treated timber buildings. If applying 2 coats, make sure you add the second coat before the first coat completely dries as it will repel the 2nd coat.
Decking Stain
Decking Stain incorporates a new generation resin created from core shell technology with acrylic modification on the alkyd. It is linseed oil based meaning that not only does it have good eco-credentials, but its low particle size offers great wood penetration. At least two coats are recommended, especially if you want the look.
What is a wood stain?
A wood stain allows you to see the grain of the wood through the treatment that you have just applied. The advantage of seeing the wood grain is especially required on timber such as Cedar, Oak, Elm, and other hardwoods. This allows their natural beauty to shine through whilst still being protected against the elements.

What is a wood paint?
A wood paint is especially for those looking to change the colour of the timber. This is quite popular when doing a garden makeover, however you may still see the grain of the timber on some products. Additional coats will create a more opaque finish, however the more expensive paints will require less coats and provide a superior look.

Who Uses Protek?
You will often see black fence paint on ITV's Love Your Garden, as Protek is the go to choice for the presenters.
