thanks :)
wasn't sure if it was suitable as i read most places recommended masonry paint but couldn't
find a green colour at a decent price

I've used Cuprinol Garden Shades (Homebase and B and Q) with no issues. Masonry paint seems to come in truly minging colours as a far as I can see!

I find Cuprinol Garden Shades delicate and poor at withstanding knocks..

Dulux masonry paint for me.

I can't say as I've noticed any problems with its durability Madasafish. Maybe you got a bad batch?

Maybe I am just a bit brutal :-)
