Like what? Creosote works, BECAUSE it is nasty. Most of the others
are fairly useless as preservatives, though they come in pretty
colours.
Hi,

Something based on copper napthanate, aceypetacs zinc/copper,
permethrin, among others, take your pick.

Still, they're all a bit OTT for fence panels in a normal application,
all that is needed is something with a wax based water repellant and a
biocide.

cheers,
Pete.
