I have used sadolin classic and its very good. Easy to apply and lasted so far for 5 years and still ok but now needs a recoat in places. Its used on a timber built Aviary. When I get round to recoating I intend to use Sadolin extra durable. I read that its best to use classic as a base coat first. I have also heard Silkins is very good as well.

Yeap I've been looking and think sadolin classic looks the best option tbh.

I've always found the sikkens range to be good quality finishes,both the water and solvent based ones. If you get a spray able stain you could do one elevation an hour and hvlp sprayers don't need much skill.

Just beware of white garden furniture and cars being nearby. People I know have had to buy their neighbours new garden furniture and another a cut and wax for a car.

A friend of mine sprayed his slatted fence and put lovely lines on the nextdoor patio which was brand new and made of expensive sandstone slabs which absorbed the paint. Neigbour wasnt happy as the patio cost over £10,000 and the stain couldn't be removed. There still trying to find a way of paying for the damage.

£15 a gallon, can brush or use a garden pump sprayer, one application for life, no peeling, no flaking. Goes on like water so amazing coverage for a gallon. Have promoted this before on here because I have had great results with it. Enjoy.

The lodge already has a saldolin tyre stain so I have brought some sadolin classic which I hope will do the job...

Many thanks James

Sorry, work is the curse of the woodworking classes…..

Let me know what you think of it, I think it is a very underrated product in the UK.
