Fence painting

Then there's the 'but for the love of ivy bees' populace.

It's hard to tell from the photo, but I think that's right.

You can make wine from many things, but I'd avoid swings on account of their metallic mouthiness.

Close ups - does this help determine?

Nowt wrong with a bit of Ivy, we've got an extended family of Sparrows nest and roost in ours, about 40 of the little peckers,

This is after this years 'trim' the high bit is over the nest that already had eggs in it.

I like the way there's always a couple on 'Sentry duty' when they're feeding, almost like aerial 'Meerkats'

Affirmative. That is a swing eating grape vine. Young leaves good for wrapping soggy rice.

Excellent I'll play it out, and maybe take some cuttings.

Take the fence down to encourage deer.

So my garden is a bit grey, I'm using Ronseal harvest gold because it's the cheapest at bandq.

I like that colour change, gives a nice yellow tint without being too 'painty'. Better not let Lady Skol see this thread actually or she might get ideas! Maybe this is something for next spring.....

I've got both sides and back fence to paint, just can't be arsed!, had 2 buckets of Ronseal fence paint in the shed for 6 years now.

Maybe next year..

Leave the fence alone and ingurgitate beer.

FTFY

I got through 5L of ronseal on three panels. Roughly 30mins per panel. Including the shed, I've got about 8hrs work ahead of me..!

Lovely!, at least when it's done you can have a beer (or preferably during!).

Presume I'll need more that two buckets then?, at least the shed is metal!.

Slightly against my better judgement I bought a pump up fence sprayer gadget from B&Q some years back along with their not-quite-creosote stuff. Fair play, it was excellent and greatly reduced the misery of a tedious job.

Then relax and watch it dry.
