Alright Fella's,
Can any of you be of any help? I'm looking to paint, stain my pond pergola the fish are not in the new pond yet, so does this matter what i use? or do i just apply a bit of G4 sealant after using any old out door paint or stain?

Hi, I would recommend 'Sadolins Classic' various colours available to suit, it's ok and fish safe when dry, I use it on my pond which is surrounded by sleepers.

Hi

We used same as Nigel as mentioned on our pergola, saddolin classic.

We just bought some more on saturday to paint the wood for our poly tunnell base rails.

Hi Nigel
Thanks for this, we've also got sleepers around our pond and we're wondering what to paint them with - ideally we wanted them painted before they went on, but lack of planning...!

That is what I go for, and with my limited DIY skills I have had a fair few drips into the pond.. it is a bit pricey but does go a long way. Dont panic if the dark brown looks a bit purple in the tub it does dry brown!
