Awful paint. Have given my fence two coats with this paint only two months ago and has already started coming off. Wilkos own did a much better job which I used before

Don't waste your time - its cheap EVERYWHERE because it doesn't work and they're trying to shift it.
Honestly, honestly, don't bother. I know you always get the mad ravers, but I promise I am not one of them. This stuff looks wonderful at first, but give it a week or two and a couple of heavy downpours and it just fades and soon its disappeared.
Its cheap, but your time isn't.

this is nonsense btw, did my fences / sheds last year (use two coats though..as always anything claiming 'one coat' is largely a gimmick) and it still looks good now......

similar / same product is in Poundstretcher for £3.99...been that price for weeks - I know because i bought a tub in B&Q for £8.99 and then returned it when I saw it in Poundstretcher about 15 mins later! ------all shades too
I'm sure its cheap everywhere because its really good.

put it on properly and you wont have a problem with it......or alternatively buy a 'really good' one...for three times the price and get the same results....choices eh

Put it on properly? Well maybe you can help me with my technique, NASA couldn't seem to help me. Which end of the brush should I be putting in the tin?

Obviously the opposite end to the one you've been using....

think it depends on weather (wind/rain/frost) and position of fence/hut, if facing weather it will soon fade and need done every year.

My old man mixed a 5ltr bucket of the original stuff with 500ml of some cheap varnish. He painted the fence once. They moved out about 5 years later and it was still going strong!

used this to paint my fence about a month ago.
one coat applied and so far so good.
Opening post
Red Cedar, Medium Oak, Dark Oak, Forest Green
Not everyone's choice or brand, but a reasonable paint for the price.
