Markings showing through B&Q timbercare paint on shed

I think it's called Timbercare? It's B&Qs fence paint - the cheap stuff.

Basically last August i painted our shed. It'd already been painted but it looked like it does in the photo i'm about to link. So i hit it with 2 coats.

Earlier on this year, all the markings came back.



The different patch colour you see i did about a month ago. It's some Ronseal stuff which i did just 1 coat on an area that was quite marked up like the other markings you see. I put this on just to see how it holds up.

I know the old 'you get what you pay for' but is the B&Q stuff really so terrible??

If it's any consolation, my Ronseal one coat stuff did exactly the same to my shed.

Heading for B&M creocote this year, only the finest for my shed!

That's actually pretty helpful, thanks. Saves me some time. I'll see how this goes but i guess it'll go the same way as the B&Q stuff.

Love the smell of creocote although i want my shed a red colour to be honest to tie in with the fencing panels.


Long term i want a block built shed.

B&M creosote is the same as B&Q creosote so check the price of both. I bought mine from B&Q on offer then seen it in B&M.

I've got a brick shed with a wooden door, still needs a few coats every year.
