Painting Fence Best product to kill Algae?

[bettz]

Thought it was time to paint the fence as im getting through jobs quite quick whilst im in lockdown

Got some Cuprinol Ducksback in Silver Copse as our fence doesnt get any sun in the summer its got a lot of algae on it what product would be best?

I've seen bleach mentioned (not the most wildlife friendly option)

Also been looking at this stuff from screwfix

You could try this https://www.force4.co.uk/item/Force...utm_medium=base&utm_campaign=base&stock=56273

Gets good reviews on Amazon but is quite pricey

It is a bit pricey especially with how things are atm

Thought id try the bleach option put it in my pump sprayer and it seems to have done the job,there's still a few patches so going back over today

The cheapest way is surely to give it a scrub using some elbow grease? Stiff brush and some detergent? Pretty sure that's what I've done in the past.

Someone mentioned a pressure washer when I searched.

I did try that but thought there must be an easier way lol
