Matt Shaw of James Automation, recently sent in these beautiful pictures of our Venetian fencing.
Even though we don't encourage customers to stain or paint our fencing, the colour that has been chosen for the Venetian fence panels here really works well with the rest of the garden, giving it a cool, modern and almost continental feel.
Well done Matt, thank you for sending the pictures in.
The Rise of Grey and Anthracite Fences
But Should You Paint or Stain Yours? In recent years, shades of grey and anthracite have become increasingly popular choices for fences, giving outdoor spaces a sleek and modern look. These darker tones create a stylish contrast against greenery and provide a contemporary finish that many homeowners love.
However, while painting or staining a fence can dramatically enhance its appearance, we do not recommend it.
Once a fence has been painted or stained, it will require ongoing maintenance, typically a fresh coat every couple of years to keep it looking its best. This results in a significant investment of both time and money over the lifespan of the fence. If you do decide to paint or stain your fence, it’s essential to use the highest quality products available and ensure the timber is fully dry before application. This will help achieve the best finish and maximise durability. For more advice, read our blog on 'Should I paint or stain my fence'.
