How to use the pouch

Step 1: Empty Pouch into a Bucket

Open the pouch containing the shed & fence paint concentrate.

Empty the entire contents of the pouch into either a clean bucket or recycle an empty bucket of One Coat Shed & Fence Protector to minimise plastic waste.

Refill the now-empty pouch with 1 litre of water.

Re-seal the pouch tightly and shake it vigorously to ensure any remaining mixture is dissolved into the water.

Step 2: Pour 1 Litre of Water from the Pouch into the Bucket

Begin gradually pouring the 1 litre of water from the pouch into the bucket, similar to how you would add ingredients when making a cake. This helps to mix your own paint while preventing clumping and ensures a smooth mixture.

Once all the water is in the bucket, mix the contents briskly for 1 minute. Use a sturdy mixing tool to ensure everything is well combined.

Step 3: Add 3 More Litres of Water by Repeating Each Step, Three Times

Repeat the process of filling the pouch with 1 litre of water and gradually pouring it into the bucket.

After each addition, mix the contents thoroughly, scraping the bottom of the bucket to ensure no mixture is left unmixed.

Ensure the mixture is consistent and smooth before adding the next litre of water.

Get ready to paint your fence or shed

Preparation, If you're applying to damp wood, make sure the wood has been drying for at least 5 hours before painting. Make sure it's a warm, dry day (above 10°C). Clean the wood with a stiff brush to get rid of any dirt. If you're spraying it on, always read the sprayer instructions first. Check you're happy with the colour, find a small hidden patch of wood and try it on first.

Application

With a brush

Get loads of Ultimate Fence Life on your brush. Put a thick coat on and if you see any drips, brush them in.

With a sprayer

Pour the liquid into the tank. Pump it up or turn it on and start spraying. When spraying use long, sweeping, horizontal arm movements. Move along the full length of the panel, drop down and do the same again. Overlap by 50% with each pass. This will make sure the whole area is covered with the correct amount of product.

You'll need 2 coats but, if your wood is very weathered, you may need another coat. Leave 4 hours between coats.

Clean up

Take as much product as possible off your brush and then clean it in warm, soapy water.
If you've used a sprayer, follow the clean up instructions in the sprayer instruction manual.

Don't empty any Ultimate Fence Life Concentrate into drains or watercourses. Your local authority may have special ways to get rid of waste product.
