I was wandering around the local garden centre and was impressed with the paint they had used on some of the sheds. The bloke there didnt know what it was, other than saying it was micro porous.

It had an almost plastic like feel and with no visible brush marks and water was beading off it, like well plastic. Seemed very different to normal paint and the usual water based stains.

Any ideas what it could be?

I used Sadolin Superdec on our shed, summerhouse and garden office and it's been brilliant. It's not cheap but very durable. I'm going to re-treat the office again this year as It's just beginning to show signs of fade and some peeling after 7 years (in a south facing garden).

Solignum is the ultimate timber treatment.But effing expensive. We just coated a 1000m2 of timber cladding on a school, and the clients eyes are still watering at the cost.

Another vote for Sadolin. Did my summer house and garden bench in it and neither shows any signs of wear - even after notorious Scottish winters & wet summers!
