Fence Painting in Skibbereen
Fences and sheds in this climate fail from the ground up — the bottom of the boards sits damp, and untreated timber goes soft there long before the top shows anything. Painting is mostly about getting the timber dry enough to take the coating and treating the end grain, which is where the water gets in.

Fence Painting in Skibbereen - FAQ
When is the right time to paint a fence?
A dry spell in spring or late summer. The timber has to be dry through, not just dry on the surface — coating wet wood seals the moisture in and the finish lifts within a season.
Spray or brush?
Spray is much faster on a long run and gets into the grain. Brush is better where a neighbour has plants right against the boundary, since overspray does not stop at your fence.
How long will it last?
Two to three years for most treatments in Irish conditions, less on a south-facing or exposed run. Cleaning off the moss first is what makes the difference between two years and one.
