    Default Treated pine fence - Cedacote?

    Have recently had a treated pine fence put in instead of Colorbond (basically, 100+ year old house, needed something that looked less modern). Because the treated pine is this horrible yellow-green colour, I'm looking at different ways to coat it. It doesn't need protection since it's treated, but just something that looks good.

    I have a western red cedar shed that had been coated by this stuff called "Envelon-Cedacote" by Dominion Plastic Industries so I started coating the fence with it. Unfortunately, I've run out, and because the can was left there by the previous owner of my house, I can't find the product anywhere (have tried paint shops, Bunnings, Mitre10 etc).

    It's a water based finish that goes on milky and dries clear (with a brownish tint) and just looks wonderful. Does anyone know where I could get it or alternatively does anyone know of an equivalent product that could do a similar job which might be easier to find? I've read the info about Sikkens Supernatural and it "seems" similar, however it requires a coat of stain prior to use - and since this is a treated pine fence, I don't want to do that.

    Any help appreciated... thanks.

    Thanks Numbat.


    I got in touch with them and it turns out their product has been renamed over the last few years - it's now called "Arbortone"... there's 3 places in Sydney that sell it which is better than zero.

    Found out that Intergrain have an equivalent product as well - called "UVD" and also "DWD" which are expensive but similar... anyone tried these?

    Sim, I have a mate who makes outdoor settings from cypress and uses DWD for his finish, it lends that wood a yellower tinge and a matt finish. Seems to be lasting OK so far but only 2-3 years old.

    Thanks for the advice Scooter!

    Coincidentally, DWD was one of the other finishes that Aust Paint Distributors suggested.

    In the end, the shop had several discontinued line stock of Cabot's "NaturalStain" natural tint which matched perfectly... so I took it off their hands. It matched! I couldn't believe it, and I got it for a third of the cost of DWD or Arbortone. Perfect for the fences, although like your mate, I would definitely consider DWD for furniture where a high quality finish is more important.
