Ducksback 5 Year Waterproof for Sheds and Fences, 5 L - Forest Green 5092438

What a great product! I had to paint several fence panels that hadn't been treated for 3 years. This went on easily and smoothly. I put 2 coats on quite thickly. Now having had torrential rain for weeks on end, the water sits in droplets on the wood as per a ducks back!! So much better than the cheap stuff from a well known DIY shop! Would definitely recommend and will certainly purchase in the future.

Wow! A top product at a very competitive price and very well packaged for a safe delivery. A trusted seller who we will use again!

Bought for my outside gates, great coverage, size of tin is great size, brilliant price, one coat is all they took, drys fast, colour is very black, not thick at all, quite easy and good to apply,would highly recommend

I was in two minds about ordering from Amazon after spills but this arrived in a sturdy box, padded with paper, with the lid taped on several times and in a plastic bag. Phew! And I like this paint, though don't leave too long between coats or it repels itself - it repels showers even faster, mind.

Tremendously pleased with the ducksback range!! It's absolutely superb. They're water-based paints that leave behind a waxy texture you can feel by running your finger along the wood, once dry. This means less environmental impact from VOCs, the solvent doesn't evaporate with age and cause it to set in the tub, and finally, and most importantly, it's very easy to wash off your skin (and the brushes) under hot water (no white spirit needed)! I bought Forest Oak and Autumn Brown, the darker shade for the fence and the autumn brown for the trellises and decking. The Forest Oak is a dark brown, applies quite light brown (coffee) and darkens (to dark chocolate). A nice de facto colour for any fence, really. The Autumn brown is a bit strange - it applies like a horrible orange, and this will depend on whether it's being painted onto lighter/darker wood of course, but reserve judgement as you're applying it because it dries to take a warm, almost brick-red shade of brown! It looks very tidy together with Forest Oak or anything green (greenery in a garden!?), but it might be a bit much if you don't like it that red. We previously had cuprinol decking stain on the decking and it didn't last 3 months in our glorious UK summer weather -_- Not fit for purpose. The wax layer comes straight off with casual use. Ducksback is what you want. Autumn brown is roughly the same as the Natural Cedar (but more red lol) It'll be getting a coat of varnish after it, just to be extra sure the decking's rich colour going to last this time. In short, these should roughly be £10 per 5L tub, that's enough to do your garden properly with at least 2 coats and have it look good and have it last the rain and snow. This is fantastic stuff!

I’ve used Cuprinol Ducksback 5 Year Waterproof on multiple garden projects now, and it remains my go-to for protecting sheds, fences, and outdoor timber. The “Autumn Brown” shade I tested gave a warm, earthy tone that blends beautifully with natural surroundings. ✅ What makes it great: • Excellent waterproofing – After a full winter season of heavy rain and frost, the treated panels are holding up perfectly. Water beads and runs off effortlessly, just as it should. • Thick, non-drip formula – Application is easy with a brush or roller. It’s a wax-enriched formula so it sticks well without dripping or splattering all over the place. • Quick-drying – Touch dry in under 2 hours. I was able to do two coats in a single afternoon. • Low odour and water-based – Much less harsh than traditional fence paints. You don’t feel like you need a mask just to apply it. • Natural finish – The brown tone gives a classic, understated look without feeling artificial or plasticky. ⚠️ Worth noting: • Two coats minimum – One coat looks patchy, but after the second, the finish is rich and even. • Not for decking or smooth planed wood – It’s ideal for rough sawn timber only. 💬 Final verdict: Cuprinol Ducksback delivers exactly what it promises — long-lasting weather protection and a good-looking finish with minimal fuss. If you’re painting fences, sheds, or other rough timber outdoors, it’s hard to beat for the price.

Excellent product easy to apply

A very good paint, more like a gel consistency, non-drip and covers well. Used over dark brown panels, the colour was a lovely light black. Used only one coat, I'm very pleased with the result. The paint was delivered very fast and well packaged.

Très bon produit se pose très bien sur le bois Très bel aspect final, belle lasure qui fait ressortir les veines du bois

La boite est arrivée ouvert. J'ai envoyé une message et une photo..pas de réponse depuis.

Unzumutbar! Die Fabrbehälter standen kopfüber in der Versandkiste und waren teilweise ausgelaufen. Totale Sauerei! Wenn ich die Ware zurücksenden muss werden sie sich freuen bei der Post.

Highly recommended - good quality item, very well packed and a speedy delivery service. Thank you for an excellent transaction.

La peinture avait coulé dans le sac en polyéthylène. (Voir les photos). La peinture a été emballée dans une boîte en carton avec les conteneurs couchés sur le côté. Par conséquent, la peinture trouverait facilement un moyen de sortir de toute ouverture. Les couvercles en plastique avaient été fixés avec 5 bandes de ruban de type steristrip. Il semble qu'il y ait un défaut dans la sécurité du couvercle de ces contenants.
