We have concrete posts and wooden fence panels.

It would be nice to have the posts and panels the same colour.

Has anyone used fence paint on concrete posts with good results?

We have used Cuprinol Garden Shades on the panels.

I'd imagine the result would be disastrous unless you spilt some onto a
concrete path where it might bond spectacularly well just to be awkward.

Usually concrete requires a masonry paint designed to bind onto an
alkaline surface. Try it and see on a piece of scrap material. It might
work but my instinct is that it will fail to make a decent bond.

Incidentally does anyone have recommendations for an outdoor furniture
wood preserver that doesn't require redoing every year? Has to be safe
for use on picnic benches and to be user friendly for sitting on too.

The items in question include various picnic benches at the Village Hall
out in all weathers and the recent winters seem able to strip these new
fangled eco friendly finishes off with ease

Probably best to use an cement primer first to deal with the alkaline problem. But there might not be much depth of colour in the cuprinol if it's designed to let the grain show through.

We have decided to try a bit and see how it goes.

It is unlikely to look quite the same because of the different substrate,
but could be a better match than trying to mix the colour in masonry paint.

Will report back.

Just repainted a gate with Gardenshades, the last painting was about
10 years ago and that had all worn off.

The new garden shades is not the same as the old. The new has no wood
preservative ingredient and is more of a film forming paint thing
than the old which was more a soak into the wood stain. Hence the
comment above about it wearing out rather than flaking/peeling off.

The grain shows through the new Gardenshades a bit but that is
probably more down to the grain be raised by age and weathering.

Only because I sprayed the panels and it became easier to spray the
posts as well Not very successful really and over time it gradually
washes off.

Its semi transparent and probably would not make it look a lot different I'd

Hum, the Cuprinol Garden Shades "Black Ash" I've just used is pretty
opaque and film forming compared to the old Cuprinol Garden Shades
"Black Ash", that was more like a stain.

The new only contains terbutyn an algicide the old stuff had three
chlorophenol type compounds for fungal and algae control. I guess the
compounds used in the old worked and have now been banned...

I set in concrete H posts & gravel boards ... and made my own fence panels.
I mixed up some 'test pots' of Sandtex smooth until I got a good match
to fence colour .... and painted posts with that ...
47 of them .... but that was well over 10 years ago and still looking
fine ... fence needs a re-coat this year.

I have just used Curprinol Garden Shades (sage) on my fence, tried a bit
on the concrete post, the colour looks exactly same on the fence, it's
brilliant! the problem is how long it will last, as I read a message here,
a guy said his concrete looks good after 3 years. so I'm going to try.
I'll let all of you know when the paint starts to fade, if I can still
find this website.

A few years back a neighbour had one of those fence paint spray guns.
Everything was sprayed, wooden fence, concrete posts and gravel boards,
the path beneath the fence, the grass and the white painted brickwork
where the fence joined the house. Some of the results can still be seen
. The fence paint soon started to wash from the concrete leaving it
"splotchy". In truth the paint probably washed off the wood at the same
rate but the result is harder to see.
