Fence color

3 years ago

Not sure if this is the same fence as previous picture. It has deeper shade. Is this redwood stained or just has protective seal? How can I get this rich look? Brand and color you use please.
Thank you so much.

Hello,

This is the same fence as the previous picture, the lighting in the picture is changing the coloring a bit.

This redwood is sealed. To get a similar look, it depends on the redwood available and if you're looking to get a dark/warmer color instead of typical reddish brown that redwood has, you can use tinted sealer instead of staining the wood. There wasn't a specific brand/color used for this project.

Thank you so much for responding back. Is it oil base sealer or water base? I'll look into tinted sealer since I like the look of redwood but just need the deeper darker and warmer look. Really appreciate it.

That's a very good idea Christy, I actually have two white roses that are climbers but I will probably have to improvise on the trellis (link on an idea of DIY that would allow me to paint the frame purple as the edge of the flower beds http://houzz.com/s/m=7/u=L3Bob3Rvcy8yNjIwMjcz). Thank you Christy, really helpful advice!

Hi guys, Leelee we are definitely doing the vintage bits on the wall. We actually have some vintage cereal boxes that we are planning on displaying on the shelves (filled with cereal of course)!. Sarainitaly - I'm investigating thenIkea planner but it's painful to work (or maybe it's just me!). Here's a pic of the walls totally painted green now. Think the shelves will look great along with some pictures dotted around. It's the cabinets now that will b a pain! BTW it was pure enthusiasm that stopped me waiting until the water heater came off the wall to paint - lol. I will have to paint the patch when it's off.

Hi lots of different options and ideas going on. I had a similar wall and understand how mean it can be to little ones. I bought and put up the expanding wood trellis. This instantly covered the area at a very reasonable price. I then planted quick growing climbing plants. I'm not a great gardener so I cant remember what i had but ask at the garden centre they will advise you. But at least you have a barrier in place to minimize accidents.

This might sound a bit like being on the fence given the advice you've had already... How about a mid to dark grey ( less contrast than black), RAL 7022 is a favourite of mine (warmer grey), or look at a green grey, as something that will have the colour of the olive, with a good amount of contrast against the white render, (you won't have the warm rich colours of the brickwork as in the photos above (which the olive looks good against)). If you are painting the timber windows you would do well to look at microporous opaque stains to reduce your on-going maintenance. A benefit of aluclad composite windows is colour outside can be factory supplied different to the interior finish. Hope this might help. Regards, Nick

We are not 100% sure if it was water or oil based sealant for this particular project but we think it was an oil based sealant. Oil and water based sealers have their pros and cons, and It just depends on your preference for the project. Typically oil based sealants are used for softer woods like redwood, pine, and cedar, since water based sealers can create blotchy coloring due to the woods absorbency and quick drying time for the sealant.

Thank you so much for sharing your expertise. Very much appreciate it. We got our horizontal redwood fence build similar to your project. But having a hard time figuring what to do to get the contemporary look of a redwood fence like yours and the house below. Doing research I was happy to find your project and it's very similar to what I'm trying to achieve. I really appreciate yr help. I'll do further research to find out exactly what I need to get that modern look. Have a great weekend.
