It's a good idea to soak the cut ends in preserver for a couple of hours as the inside of the word you've exposed won't be that well treated compared to the original surface.
Then fence paint to help out, if it's in the ground not going to help a lot. If outside then it'll help weather proof.

I queried the freshly cut ends when we had a new fence - the contractor used a copper carbonate based end seal, then left me the remainder of the unused tin which I've since used on other things. It appears to work and can be overpainted once dry - just painting with ronseal might be ok but I'd imagine it sits on the surface as opposed to wicking up the end grain.

Possibly a silly question, but do I need a special product to treat the cut ends of pressure treated wood, or can I use the ronseal fence paint I have spare?
Cheers.
