Painting the fence
Well, I had to get round to it sooner or later.
Six of our new fence panels are now forest oak, to match the older fencing. It is hard to keep the stuff off the fence posts (especially using the spray!) but I protected the concrete plinths (by lifting the panels up and slipping newspaper underneath) and kept the stuff off the upright fronts. Peeking over, I’m pleased to see that my painting results are no worse than the neighbours who have used a coppery colour.
One other house in the street has used a blue colour to do their fence & shed, it is both striking and refreshing. We have a builders restrictive covenant that we are meant to keep our paintwork the same colour as originally provided. Not something they enforce, fortunately (although our doors were red and remain so).
Why six panels, I (don’t) hear you ask? That was a full one of these I had left over from last year…
Would you like to come and do ours when you’ve finished?

Blue fence? Now that does sound a bit too exotic for me. Shed maybe OK, fence, no, it doesn’t blend in with the green stuff.

If I end up out of work I’ll remember these opportunities!
