Ask your QuestionHi can I put fence paint on decking after I’ve stained it
Asked by Benny on 22nd May 2020Best Answer
"hi
better to use wood preservative with a stain as this will help your decking and protect the wood.
oil based stain preservative is the better alternative
regards"
"I would say no to using fence paint on decking as it's not as durable.i would personally use decking oil as this penetrates into the wood and gives it a longer protection"

Answered on 22nd May 2020 - Member since Jan 2019 - report"Hi Benny,
So a lot of people use fence paint on decking because it’s cheaper that decking paint/stain,
However, the reason your using the stain is to preserve the wood, the fence paint is also a lot less wearing and chips easy,
Hope this answers your question,
Kind regards,

"I would never put stain on decking
Shell out that little extra and get proper decking oil"
"no you shouldn't use fence paint on decking because it will not be durable. Ther is other paint products specifically for decking such as the Ronseal Rescue paint which is durable and resists foot traffic and weathering"
