1. Paint over it with white paint.....i guess!
2. go over it with a expo or a whitebored maker and try to wash over it or srub it off.... it might work it woek on my desk
3. just keep washing.. permanent marker isn't as permanent as people say.. and if not, why don't you just paint over it again?
4. Prime the area, and then paint over it with regular white paint. It is most likely a standard white exterior paint. You could also try Simple Green, a spray cleaner. Good stuff.
5. I know nail polish remover will remove permanent marker from counter tops I dont know if it will work on fences
6. Paint over it with white paint or whatever color matches it
7. At the paint store you can buy a spray can or a quart can of a pigmented stain sealer a good one is called Z-prime. One or two coats of the Z-prime then touch-up with your original paint over the top. If you try to use solvent it will probably wipe the original finish off and will not look as well.
8. just paint over it
9. Try using a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. You can buy them at almost any store that carries household cleaning supplies. They are a most amazing product.
