Fence preservatives?

[Swampster]

Hi, what's the best fence preservative? I want to treat my closeboard for the first time but don't want it to be too different in colour. Thanks

creosote..............if you can get hold of it

Creosote with 10 - 20% of old engine oil mixed in if you don't mind it a bit darker. Of the propietary products, Ronseal Ducksback is good - 2 coats needed initially though for best protection. Forest Oak is closest to original closeboard colour

When I was a kid My dad used to give me a 50 50 mix of creosote and engine oil to paint on all sorts round the farm. Must work well cos there's gates I did more than 20 years ago still going stromg

40/60 creosote mixture, watch the water just run off fencing

I agree with all the creosote / oil mix posts but it wont be the same color that the op wants .....

Not been available for a good few years now, the stuff is now creosote substitute and ain't a patch on the old stuff.
