    Season-by-Season Guide

    Spring

    Ideal — fence panels are dry from winter and ready for treatment. Book early as spring is the busiest time for fence work.

    Summer

    Fastest drying and most reliable weather. Great for large fence runs and garden structures.

    Autumn

    Still possible in dry weather. Treating fences before winter protects them from the worst weather.

    Winter

    Not recommended — wet wood won't absorb treatment properly and cold slows drying dramatically.

    Booking Advice

    Spring is the most popular time for fence painting. Book February/March for the best spring slots.
