Extreme Paints Acrylic Shed & Fence Paint is a premium, oil-based wood treatment designed to protect, seal, and enhance outdoor timber structures. Engineered for long-lasting durability, it provides exceptional resistance to rain, UV rays, and seasonal weathering, making it a trusted choice for garden sheds, fences, trellis work, and outdoor furniture.
The oil-enriched formula penetrates deep into the timber grain, improving water repellency and creating a flexible finish that expands and contracts with the wood. This helps prevent cracking, peeling, and fading over time, ensuring that your exterior woodwork maintains a beautiful, natural appearance all year round.

Performance and Durability

Manufactured in the UK under ISO 9001 quality control, this professional-grade coating delivers heavy-duty protection with the authentic look and feel of traditional creosote-style treatments without the harsh odour or brittleness. The finish enhances grain definition, giving timber a warm, rich tone while protecting it from rot, decay, and fungal growth.

Once applied, the coating forms a durable, breathable barrier that sheds rainwater and prevents moisture ingress, significantly extending the lifespan of exterior wood. Its combination of deep penetration and surface film protection provides structural reinforcement and aesthetic enhancement.

Key Benefits

  • Heavy-Duty Weather Resistance: Shields timber from rain, frost, UV, and seasonal changes.

  • Deep Oil-Based Protection: Penetrates the wood fibres for maximum waterproofing and grain preservation.

  • Enhanced Grain Definition: Highlights natural timber texture for a clean, professional look.

  • Creosote-Alternative Finish: Offers traditional creosote's rich tone and performance with a safer, modern formulation.

  • Easy Application: Brush, roller, or spray for quick, even coverage with minimal dripping or streaking.

  • Low Maintenance: Reduces fading, warping, and water damage for long-term outdoor performance.

Suitable Surfaces

Extreme Paints Acrylic Shed & Fence Paint is ideal for:

  • Timber fences, garden sheds, and summerhouses

  • Trellis panels, gates, and pergolas

  • Exterior timber cladding and decking edges

  • Farm and estate fencing

  • Wooden outdoor furniture (non-seating surfaces recommended

Note: This product is unsuitable for sealed, painted, or non-porous surfaces. Always remove previous coatings and return the timber to bare wood for best adhesion.

Colour Options

Available in Dark Brown, this rich, traditional shade enhances natural wood tones and blends seamlessly with garden landscapes. Custom colours may be available for bulk orders to match specific design schemes or commercial requirements.

Coverage & Spread Rate

  • Approximate coverage: 8 m² per litre per coat (depending on wood type and porosity)

  • 5 L tin: ≈ 40 m² total coverage (1 coat)

  • 20 L tin: ≈ 160 m² total coverage (1 coat)

Two liberal coats are recommended for maximum depth of colour and extended durability.

Drying & Curing Times (@ 18 °C)

  • Touch Dry: 4–6 hours

  • Recoat Interval: 6–8 hours (ensure surface is touch dry before recoating)

  • Complete Cure: 24 hours

  • Weatherproof Protection: Achieved after complete cure (avoid rainfall during drying)

Proper ventilation ensures quicker drying and better penetration. Avoid painting in direct sunlight or high humidity conditions.

Surface Preparation

Before application, ensure all timber is sound, dry, and free of dust, dirt, grease, or moss. Remove old paint or varnish by sanding or stripping back to bare wood.
For best results:

  • Clean thoroughly using a suitable wood cleaner or jet wash.

  • Allow timber to dry completely (moisture content below 18%).

  • Mask off nearby surfaces to avoid overspray or drips.

Children, pets, and animals should be kept away from treated areas until the surface is dehydrated.

Storage & Handling

  • Store sealed containers between 5 °C and 30 °C in a dry, well-ventilated place away from open flames or direct sunlight.

  • Ensure lids are tightly closed between uses to prevent skin formation.

  • Dispose of waste and empty tins according to local environmental regulations.

Safety Information

This oil-based product contains solvents and is flammable. Always apply in a well-ventilated area, away from naked flames and sparks.
Avoid inhaling vapours and prolonged contact with skin. Protective gloves, masks, and eyewear are strongly recommended during use.
Keep out of the reach of children and pets. Refer to the product’s Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for comprehensive safety guidance.

Finish & Appearance

Once dry, the coating produces a smooth satin sheen with enhanced grain contrast. The finish resists water spotting and promotes even weathering, ensuring your outdoor timber stays protected, vibrant, and low-maintenance throughout the seasons.

Surface Preparation

Before starting, ensure the timber surface is sound, clean, and completely dry. Remove previous coatings, sealants, or paint to return the wood to a bare, porous state for maximum absorption.

  • Clean the surface: Use a stiff brush or power washer to remove dirt, moss, mould, and debris.
  • Dry thoroughly: Allow at least 48 hours of drying time after cleaning.
  • Repair and sand: Fill cracks or damaged sections and glossy or uneven areas to achieve a consistent key.
  • Safety note: Keep children, pets, and wildlife away until the surface is dehydrated.

Mixing

  • Stir the paint thoroughly for 2–3 minutes before application to ensure even pigment and consistency.
  • If spraying, the product can be thinned with up to 5% white spirit, but excessive thinning should be avoided to maintain durability and water resistance.

Application Method

Apply liberally using a brush, roller, or spray system, depending on project scale and preference.

  • Brush: Ideal for detailed areas such as edges, corners, and fence posts.
  • Roller: Best for large flat surfaces like fence panels or shed walls.
  • Spray: Suitable for quick coverage on open fencing or larger outdoor projects.

Always apply in thin, even coats, working with the grain of the timber to ensure proper absorption and a uniform finish.

Coating Schedule

  • First Coat: Apply a thin, consistent layer across all surfaces. Allow it to soak and dry naturally.
  • Second Coat: Once the surface is touch-dry, recoat after 6–8 hours. Apply in the opposite direction to improve coverage and depth of colour.
  • Film Build: Two thin coats deliver complete protection and rich colour depth. Avoid overloading or puddling the paint.

Drying & Curing Times (@ 18 °C)

  • Touch Dry: 4–6 hours
  • Recoat: 6–8 hours
  • Light Use: After 12 hours
  • Complete Cure: 24 hours

Allow fresh coatings to cure undisturbed and avoid rain or heavy moisture during the initial 6 hours of drying.

Maintenance

Inspect treated timber annually and recoat where necessary to maintain a consistent protective barrier and colour tone. Regular cleaning with mild detergent and a soft brush will extend coating life and keep surfaces looking fresh.

Clean-Up

Clean brushes, rollers, or spray equipment immediately after use with white spirit or a suitable solvent. Do not pour waste down drains and dispose of it responsibly in accordance with local environmental regulations.Secure the lid tightly to prevent skin formation and store the remaining product between 5 °C and 30 °C in a dry, ventilated area.

Frequently Asked Questions

What differentiates Extreme Paints Shed & Fence Paint from standard fence paint?
This oil-based formula penetrates deep into timber fibres to form a waterproof barrier that prevents cracking, fading, and rot. It provides long-lasting colour, enhances wood grain, and delivers a rich professional finish that outperforms cheap water-based paints.
Can I use this paint on both new and old wood?
Yes, it works on both new and weathered timber. Clean and strip back old surfaces to bare wood to ensure full absorption and maximum adhesion.
Is this product suitable for all types of exterior wood?
Ideal for exterior softwoods, sheds, fences, trellis, gates, and pergolas. Avoid sealed, polished, or previously painted surfaces unless sanded back to a porous finish.
How many coats are required for proper protection?
Apply two thin coats at right angles for best coverage and waterproofing. A third coat may be used for highly exposed or rough timber.
How long does the paint take to dry?
Under normal UK conditions (≈18 °C), it’s touch dry in 4–6 hours, ready to recoat after 6–8 hours, and fully cured in 24 hours. Avoid rain within the first 6 hours of application.
Can this paint be sprayed, or is brushing better?
Both methods work. Brushing gives deeper penetration on rough wood; spraying is faster for large areas. If spraying, thin with up to 5 % white spirit and ensure proper ventilation.
Is the finish glossy or matte?
It dries to a natural satin sheen — not shiny or flat — enhancing the wood’s grain for a classic outdoor look.
Does this paint provide UV and weather protection?
Yes, UV-stable additives resist fading and cracking from sunlight, while the oil-based barrier repels rain, frost, and pollutants for year-round durability.
Can I use it indoors, for wooden furniture or floors?
No, it’s intended for exterior use due to its solvent content. For indoor projects, use a low-odour, water-based alternative.
How should I prepare the wood before painting?
Clean away dirt, moss, and algae. Sand previously painted surfaces back to bare timber and ensure the wood is dry (moisture below 18 %) before coating.
What is the coverage rate per litre?
One litre covers about 8 m² per coat, depending on porosity. A 5 L tin covers ≈ 40 m², and a 20 L tin ≈ 160 m² — ideal for large outdoor projects.
Is this paint safe for pets and plants once dry?
Yes, once dry it’s completely safe for pets, plants, and wildlife. Keep animals and children away during application and drying.
Can I mix this with other paints or stains?
No, do not mix with other paints or sealers. Use alone for proper waterproofing, bonding, and drying performance.
How should I maintain a painted surface over time?
Clean annually with mild detergent and a soft brush. Recoat every 3–5 years or when fading appears to maintain colour and protection.
Is this paint manufactured in the UK?
Yes, Extreme Paints Shed & Fence Paint is proudly made in the UK under ISO 9001 standards for quality, durability, and professional-grade performance.
