Am about to put up a fence outside using tanalised timber planks and
posts. I figured it would be easier to paint them before I put the
fence up (well actually, get the missus to do the painting!!).

The bloke at the timber yard told me that if I use bog standard fence
panel cupronol type water based paint, it will wash straight off when it
rains, as it will not take to tanalised wood.

Is there any truth in this?

If so, what would I use?

Thanks....
