Extreme Durable Paints Acrylic Shed & Fence Paint 5.0 kg

Manufactured by Trade Supplies UK

Extreme Paints Acrylic Shed & Fence Paint is a premium, water-based acrylic wood treatment designed to protect, seal, and transform 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 high-performance acrylic formula creates a flexible, opaque (solid colour) finish that expands and contracts with the wood. This helps prevent cracking, peeling, and blistering over time, ensuring that your exterior woodwork maintains a bold, uniform colour all year round.

Performance and Durability

Manufactured in the UK under ISO 9001 quality control, this professional-grade coating delivers heavy-duty protection without the harsh fumes or long drying times of oil-based alternatives. The finish provides excellent coverage, hiding surface imperfections while protecting timber from rot, decay, and moisture damage.

Once applied, the coating forms a durable, breathable barrier that sheds rainwater and prevents moisture ingress, significantly extending the lifespan of exterior wood.

Available Colours

Choose from a wide range of solid, opaque colours to match your exterior theme:

Greys: Light Grey, Mid Grey, Dark Grey
Greens: Mid Green, Dark Green
Reds & Warm Tones: Red, Post Office Red, Orange
Standard Colours: Blue, Yellow, Black, White

Key Benefits

Water-Based Acrylic Formula: Quick-drying, low odour, and easy to clean up.
Heavy-Duty Weather Resistance: Shields timber from rain, frost, UV, and seasonal changes.
Solid Colour Finish: Provides excellent opacity to cover blemishes and revive old timber.
Flexible Coating: Resists cracking and peeling by moving with the natural expansion of the wood.
Easy Application: Brush, roller, or spray for quick, even coverage.
Low Maintenance: UV-stable colours reduce fading and keep fences looking new for longer.

Suitable Surfaces

Extreme Paints Acrylic Shed & Fence Paint is ideal for:

Timber fences, garden sheds, and summerhouses

Finish & Appearance

Leaves a smooth, matte/satin solid colour finish (dependent on colour choice) that obscures the wood grain for a modern, uniform look. The finish resists algae and water spotting, keeping your garden structures vibrant and easy to maintain.

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.
