Outdoor wood paint for barge boards – recommendati ons please

[Arthur Owen]

Need to paint the barge boards on the roof of the house, which type / brand of paint is suggested?

Wood is currently painted a brown colour and is starting to flake off.

TIA Arthur

Many thanks for the info on Alkyd paints, any brands to avoid?

[tabbypurr]

I don't have much experience of brands to avoid, as I avoid them. There's a lot of junk paint out there.
