Duck egg blue, teal? :)

don't think the question is over colour douglas, but more to do with whether it's suitable for the chooks :P

Ah, you thought I was giving decorating tips BOO, that's well outside my area of expertise. :)

ming you, after re-reading, you could be right, and if you are, cracking (cracking- geddit?) colour choices!

[pillj123]

totally agree...blue sounds lovely, douglas....but sorry I really wanted the TYPE or BRAND of paint!!!!!

[douglas9401]

Use a suitable wood primer then any good quality paint would do but apparently there are a couple of key thinks with tanalised wood.
First it has to be weathered for about six months and second don't plane or sand it. If you do you'll be back to square one and you'll have removed the layer of wood with the most preservative in it.
Of course if you're asking about painting the inside, to match the curtains for example, then I'm at a loss. :)

This is one of the best woodstains pillj ..........
Excellent range of solid colours, not like woodstains at all. No primers or anything else needed.
