Should I paint or stain my fence?
Painting fencing is entirely up to the end user. However, you do not need to paint or stain our fencing. Our timber products are Jakcure® pressure treated to provide a 25 year guarantee against wood boring insects and all types of rot. Therefore, they do not need to be painted or stained to protect them and they will not need any additional treatment throughout their service life.

What's the difference between painting and staining?
Regarding cost, there are no major differences between paints and stains. Each can have expensive or cheaper versions. Both will not heavily impact your fence, but paint may restrict the natural movements of timber. It falls down to whether you want to change the whole look and colour of your fence with paint, or enhance the natural beauty of timber, with stain.
What issues does painting fencing cause?
Paint can look great when first applied, but it typically has a short lifespan. Within months, it may begin to fade, crack, or peel, leaving the fence looking worn. Once you paint your fence, you’ll likely need to repaint it every year or so to keep it looking fresh. Find out more in our blog.

Environmental impacts of painting your fence
Painting a fence can impact the environment, depending on the materials used. Many paints release VOCs, contributing to air pollution, while spills can contaminate soil and waterways. As paint fades and flakes, it may also create microplastics, and repeated use increases waste and carbon emissions.
