Black fence

We have painted the eastern boundary fence black. We tried to get some more of the black fence paint that we had already used but the local DTY Superstores no longer stock it - how annoying! We looked up the Cuprinol website and found that they still make it and it is also available in 5ltr cans which is great - we had 2.5 litres before. The website has a shopping cart so we though we would buy it over the net - pressed the 'buy' button on the 5ltr Black paint and went through to the shopping cart only to discover that you cannot buy it or any of their products online, but they helpfully suggest that you print your order out and take it to the local DIY superstore. Idiots!

They did have a help line phone number which we rang and got the name of a local stockist - you can only get the black fence paint wholesale at trade shops now if you are looking.
