I bought some spray n leave by spear and Jackson, sprayed it all over the fences and the green came off pretty quickly. When we moved into our new house the fence at the back was completely green, this stuff sorted it out.

scrape big bits out, spray with fungicidal wash.
£9 in amazon.

Repaint maybe on a sunny day.
I’ve always used this, cheap and paints easily. 7 years in, and doesn’t need repainting still.
A jet washer and then re-paint it. One of the main reasons I don’t paint fences, it needs to be done repeatedly. The algae will return eventually, it obviously wants to grow there so this will probably be a job every other year to keep on top of.

I’d just pressure-wash it off personally. Just make sure the neighbours don’t have their washing out!

Could give white vinegar a go. It’s cheap and available from any supermarket.

Spray and Leave by Spear and Jackson. Spray on when it is dry and the green will disappear over a couple of days. A 5L bottle is about a tenner at B and M and £12 on Amazon.

Patio Magic and a pump sprayer cleared all of ours when we moved in.

You could try some biological washing liquid or powder in hot water and give it a scrub with a brush. It should come off and more cost efficient.

Just paint it will kill the algae and makes the fences last a lot long with oil based paint

Pressure washing washing will remove the algae. It will also deeply soak the wood.
Brush on a fungicide when you’ve got a few days without rain. That’ll kill off the algae, and protect against new growth for several months.

That’s a very short washing line…

Benzalkonium chloride. But honestly many people paint fences green and I prefer the natural look now.

Pool cleaner / chlorine solution. It stops the photosynthesis so it doesn’t grow.

Jeys fluid is the answer 👊🏼

I use Jarder biocide. Great stuff

this will come off successfully with a jet wash. do it in the spring so it can dry out afterwards, then you can paint it again.

Personally I’d wait till spring, just that the stain/paints need a good 2-4hrs of dry weather at around 10c to dry properly. I’ve done it around this time before and it started raining and the stain got loads of little rain drops divits in it. Looked crap and I had to redo it. But otherwise as others have said, powerwash, treat with wood treatment (then paint if your painting), or wood protecting stain if your staining
Just an fyi b and q have a great youtube channel where they show you how to stuff like this, theres also one that i can’t remember the name of where the guy is like a dad for everyone he goes over stuff like this too – might be helpful for the rest of the house

Paint brush with diluted Jeyes. Nice smell too.
