Answer 18

Can I ask what colour/make stain you used for your summer house and beams, the colour is beautiful x

Comments

This is what was used on the shed and sleepers

---

@flunky thank you x

Answer 19

Brown if no plants going in or grey if you intend to plant as the grey really makes them stand out

Answer 20

Leave them as they are. I think painting fences boxes the actual garden in rather like drawing a thick outline around a shape personally.  

Comments

@knockwurst I won’t leave them as they are as it’s best to treat them to protect them

---

@flunky Most fences are treated if they’ve been done professionally.  

Answer 21

Urban slate

Answer 26

Our seating area and urban slate on the fences

Answer 27

Once you paint the fencing, there's no going back. I have Urban Slate & Willow on our shed, but to keep in with our oiled sleepers, we've just oiled our fences.  

Answer 28

This is what we used on the fence, it’s what we used when we lived by your mam, you always fancied our deck  x

Comments

@hauger where did you get it from? Yeah I always liked how your decking looked

---

In eBay you can by it as a multi buy, it will go straight through a sprayer too! Xx

Answer 29

I think with that amazing back ground of trees and back ground i would be painting them forest green then they would blend into the back ground

Answer 30

Definitely urban slate. When flowers grow up in the borders the green and colour of the plants will look stunning against the slate.

Dark oak
