If you have a high presure water jet, clean your decking, you will see, it's amazing

Answer 6

Not black but dark grey - Urban slate from Cuprinol I believe, I love it! In the summer everything looks more vibrant on that background. Excuse the garden, it's work in progress :(

Answer 7

Thinking of doing mine black as jamie mentioned all the plants reall stand out

Answer 8

Black is fabulous as my plants stand out so much plus it give the illusion of a much bigger area. Also for those worrying about heat etc, black absorbs and doesn’t reflect so won’t harm the delicates xxx

Answer 10

Answer 11

Apparently black fences are great in the garden because they make the plants etc stand out in front of them. Saw it on an Alan Titchmarsh programme looked awesome

Answer 12

Black isn’t to everyone’s taste but can see why you’d paint fences to make flowers stand out more. Just make sure it doesn’t bleed through to your neighbours side as my neighbour did to my fence panels. Don’t want to sound down about it but you don’t want to fall out with next door.  

Answer 13

Very dark and makes garden looks small. Something light and bright

Answer 14

Black will make the colours of your plants really pop out

Answer 15

Love my black. Only one coat on the panels  

Answer 16

Answer 17
