I've used both the premium ronseal and cupronol(sp?) on sheds and fence panels.
The shed was incredibly dry after that super hot summer. It took millions of coats to poorly cover the red ceder. If doing it again I would pressure wash the paint off and mix some primer into the paint for an under coat. This obviously assumes you're painting it a colour.
I think the ronseal was better as it went on the fence panels better than the Cupronol did on the shed. But that could be due to them being less parched being done recently vs the shed last summer. However, cupronol has more colours and more modern ones at that. Although the premium ronseal does have some fairly modern ones.
If the side next to the fence is protected, and clear ( ie not like MTB' upthread) and the wood is in good condition I'd just do the bits you can see and reach. Otherwise if the fence panel is removable you could pop it out and ask your neighbour if you can access via their garden.

All this shed talk has made me realise now is probably the time to act with mine. The varnish is all peeling off and found that it’s easily jet washed off. What sort of paint does one use for a shed? Also, its quite tight against the garage and fence, would one empty it and pull it out or just try to work around it? (The shed was in place when we moved in)
