Painting a trellis
I'm about to fix a trellis in my new conservatory, I want to grow a
Jasmine on it. I would like to paint it white before fixing on the wall, can anyone reccomend a type of paint that would not be toxic to Jasminium Stephanense please. It would be decorative rather than protective. Thanks Don |

Thanks Don There are now water based wood paints on the market. They are far less offensive than the normal gloss paints. I don't think it mentions Jaminium on the tin one way or the other. -- hugh It may be more complicated but is it better? |

Thanks Don 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 Malcolm |

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 |

Don Very probably being water based but check the tin or perhaps find the manufacturers website and ask them. Wood treatments (colourings and water resistance improvers) which are water based are non-harmful once applied and allowed to dry. -- hugh It may be more complicated but is it better? |

Thanks Don Having searched various outlets for a plain wooden trellis with decent sized diamonds, ignoring the majority of white plastic ones, I left mine "natural" when I fixed them to the garage wall. They have lasted several years... -- Gordon H Remove "invalid" to reply |
