Hit and Miss fence panels

DRP

Agree with Emmy Lou. Treated wood will last a long long time, especially when vertical, elevated and not in contact with the ground.

Once it is  stained, painted or whatever, you’ll have to do it again every year.

Thanks all. 

The fence is inside my land, yes, with a couple of inches before the boundary line.

I quite like fence painting, I find it quite therapeutic. Plus my plants look better next to a dark background. I'll have a look at a spray

No, they haven't painted their side of the fence. They were caught just before they started to paint it a horrible brown colour! I told them they couldn't paint it and they've never forgiven me.

Why would the colour on their side matter to you? And what colour would you paint the side facing them should you manage to?

This is sounding a bit weird. Unless there's a good reason why you don't want them painting their side - which would do some protecting of the timber, surely? - why don't you let them get on with it? Happy neighbour and happy fence?

Because their paint was dripping through to my side. Why should I pay for a fence to then have the neighbours choice of colour drip through it and look ugly? They didn't even ask, just did it, which is extremely rude. I used a non-drip paint on my side so their side is still neat and tidy. Not just that but if I let them paint it you can guarantee that they'll think they can attach stuff to it ... my neighbours are the kind that do what they like, when they like with whatever they like. Not everyone is blessed with good neighbours. They've bullied me since I moved in.
