Answered on 13th Oct 2020 - Member since Sep 2020 - report"Yes that won't be a problem just make sure that you clean the decking before you paint it. With a jet wash make sure all the loose bits are removed like moss and lichen and your good to go many thanks kane"

Answered on 23rd Nov 2020 - Member since Aug 2019 - report"I would not advise this when it rains fence paint comes off decking,
You can trail it from foot wear over slabs and through your house."
"I wouldn't advise it mate better off just getting the right paint for the decking which best for the specific wood you have"

Answered on 26th May 2022 - Member since Oct 2018 - report"Not recommended as foot traffic will wear it off.
Staining needs to be done when decking is dry and clean otherwise any paint will seal in the damp.
A decking protector seal or paint is recommended for durability."
"Hi. I would say it would be fine to paint in any colour you choose and then would need sealing with a clear not slip decking treatment."
