anyone reccomend a type of paint that would not be toxic to

Sadolin White Woodstain
Water based, satin finish, long lasting. I have used it on exterior
woodwork and it has lasted in excess of 4 years. No prep needed,
around £12 per litre

Thanks for that, but is it non toxic to twining plants coming in to
contact with it?

Don

I would say yes on the grounds that I know of no modern paints that
would have a toxic effect on any plant. I would avoid coatings that are
marketed as wood preservers although most of those are now fairly
harmless
That's because they are not actually preservers if you read what it says
in the small print

It may be more complicated but is it better?
