Decking painting with fence paint

Question

Hi can I put fence paint on decking after I’ve stained it

Aftab · Accepted Answer

hi
better to use wood preservative with a stain as this will help your decking and protect the wood.
oil based stain preservative is the better alternative

Lee · Answer

I would say no to using fence paint on decking as it's not as durable.i would personally use decking oil as this penetrates into the wood and gives it a longer protection

Dean · Answer

I wouldn't put fence paint on it personally as it wont last long. Can I ask why your putting paint on it if you've stained it?

Devon · Answer

yes but will be best to apply a clear lacquer on top to stop it chipping!

Hi Benny,

So a lot of people use fence paint on decking because it’s cheaper that decking paint/stain,

However, the reason your using the stain is to preserve the wood, the fence paint is also a lot less wearing and chips easy,

Hope this answers your question,

Kind regards,

No you need to use correct stain for decking as if you use fence paint it will not protect and be anti slip

Short answer is no, it will wear off 

You need paint that is specifically for decking. Oil based is better. 

Ronseal, no-nonsense, are just 2 of the brands that might help you out.
