Cupranol. (or the premium ronseal if it's significantly cheaper).
Paint pannels before installation.
People say get a sprayer. IMO a big brush is fine, and I worried about spray back on the house/neighbours.
If you buy a diy grade sprayer, buy it from Screwfix so when it breaks (which it will) you can take it back and use the credit for something else.
Be aware that coloured pannels require repainting. Here are the ones I painted during lock down with Cupranol in Suburban Anthracite. IMO this is an excellent colour to contrast with foliage. The shed is also Cuprinol or Ronseal premium in Pinterest Grey - this is a much more capricious colour, and I wouldn't use it for fences.

I plan to replace the fence panels on one side in the next month, there are good posts to reuse and they seem to all be standard 6' square panels I can nail in pretty easily (probably). However I really feel like the standard stain/wood look is a bit dull, and actually a bit unpleasant when new so am considering a colour for the lot of it, the question is what, and also how? *
Thinking about a nice dark colour, ie black or very dark green? Not really inspired by anything more modern/colourful as I'm worried it will date a bit, and I'd like to avoid just-buy-a-fucking-new-build greige.
