Having been a convert from water-based stains to decking oil (3 winters and still not flaking), I was wondering if I can use decking oil on fences? Or is there such a thing as oil-based fence treatment (and won't break the bank)? What about "creosote substitute" - are these any good?
Also, I'm thinking of painting the shed with one of those fancy coloured products (e.g. Cuprinol "Garden Shades" & Ronseal "Woodland Trust Colours"), and wondered how well a pale shade will cover an existing dark brown? The product guides don't mention the need to undercoat dark colours so I assume it'll work (give or take a few coats).
