I need to re-paint the rabbit hutch and a few small wooden shelter boxes. I've always used ronseal 5 year until now, but I haven't found it that good. It seems to flake off easily and doesn't seem very waterproof. It's also quite expensive.

Could anyone recommend something better? I've seen something called 'Ducksback' but I'm unsure and would appreciate any suggestions.

    Ducksback is not everything it's made out to be. I know it's expensive but check out Sadolin products.

    All the best stuff has been banned by our unelected friends in Brussels I'm afraid...

    Personally I used Ducksback on our fence a year ago and so far it is doing a great job. Water runs straight off it. I can't comment on longevity yet, but so far so good.
