Painting your fence a dark colour in black, dark grey or dark brown such as Cuprinol Urban Slate creates a dramatic, modern backdrop to your garden. 

If you use your space to entertain and enjoy simple, clean design, these colours will add a real architectural feel to your garden.

Classic fence colours such as earthy greens and browns are chosen on purpose. 

They complement the natural colours you would see in your garden from plants and trees making your fence blend into your garden seamlessly. 

Classic colours such as Cuprinol Wild Thyme, Ronseal Dark Oak or Ronseal Harvest Gold draw your attention to what’s growing in your garden. 

Try to think about what you want your fence to do – do you want to make sure they blend in or stand out?

If you want to make a real feature of your fence, why not choose some fun pastel or bright colours? 

You could choose a colour you have always loved or think about what kind of flowers grow in your garden and paint your fence to match. 

If you want to go bolder, painting your fence a two-tone or stripe will definitely make a statement in your garden!
