What's the best green stuff to colour and (more importantly) preserve
a wooden fence?


Ronseal?

Also, best regardless of price (e.g. Sadolin) or best value for money?

I found Sadolin to be useless in Italy, the sun causes it to flake off in
large sheets. Its accelerated ageing compared to the UK but indicates
what
will happen over time.

I would use Johnstones Shed and Fence paint, it has stood up well in the
UK
and in Italy.

Just been using some of that myself - very pleasant to use.

Also, for the more 'architectural' woodwork, their Quick Dry Opaque Wood
Finish. Unlike several other brands, it can be tinted to requirement and
covers quite well.
