We paint the majority of our Estate Fencing leaving it looking very smart. All painted fences receive a two coat paint finish. We use a very high zinc based primer followed by a high zinc based top coat. The paints we use are highly rust resistant and give a tough finish.
Alternatively, fences can be left to rust. Within 6 months or so you are left with an estate fence that looks as if it has been up for years and blends in beautifully with a country setting. Structurally, corrosion will not be a problem within a customer's life time.
