gardening advice-paint my fences

:cool: Hello there!
I'm looking for some gardening advice today!
I've got those large panelled wooden fences all the way round the back of my house and it normally takes a couple of days to paint them all (inbetween running after my two angels!!). The past few years I've been using the Cuprinol stain (medium brown colour) and looks lovley once finished - only trouble is, after around 6 months it starts to fade and looks really tacky and neglected again by summer, despite all my efforts.
Does anyone know of something I should be putting on the fence or is there a magic varnish or stain I could put on rather than waste my time with the Cuprinol?
Any help appreicted so i dont waste my time or money this summer!!

We've only had our cuprinol on the fence for about a year, so can't help you there. However, Lidl have an electric paint gun on offer next week for less than £20, which would cut down the amount of time you spend painting?
