Default Painting Fence

Probably this is a dumb question, but can anyone tell me how many litres of
paint I need to paint one side of six fence panels, each panel is 6 x 6
feet, the overlap type panels?

well it does sort of depend a lot on what you are going to paint with.
Read the tine and then err on the side of caution.

I used a spirit based Cuprinol decorative preservative (rather than the
water based paint type stuff, that does nothing except look nice for a
bit)) This is pretty absorbent.

To do about 11 (IIRC) 6x4 panels + 6xa trellis took about 10 L I think.
Certainly well over 5
