I asked this in my build thread, but suspect it will get more answers as a standalone thread.

We have had a new veranda build, and need to paint it over the next 3 weeks, before the polycarbonate roof is fitted. It has been built from tanalised wood.

Really we would like to paint it white, but what paint would work on tanalised wood? My initial thought was something like Cuprinol garden shades, but that is only available in an off white, which isn't really what we wanted. Or would something like Zinsser AllCoat Exterior work?

I went for the Zinsser Allcoat exterior satin, I've done a test piece and it seemed fine. Fingers crossed it is OK for the whole veranda.
