Fence panel spray

crewe

Hi

Can anybody recommend a system to treat my fence panels with.
I am sick of using a brush, takes me ages.
A friend got a spray system but says it is no good.

Any good systems out there ?

My son in law used the spray system and agrees with your friend.

Use a wider brush !!

I'm afraid you'll have to get the brush out mate. But avoid cheap thin watery stuff and you won't have to do it again for years. I treated mine with Cuprinol Garden Shades. It's expensive because it is more for garden furniture than fences, it's like a thin paint, but has lasted 5 years so far and still looks good. Look out for it on offer.

Would this be the same sort of stuff you treat sheds with?

I've got a new one which has had a factory base-coat treatment but I need to give it another proper treatment apparently, only I'm confused by all the different products available

Have a look here. Garden shades is the I use, but as I said it works out expensive but lasts for years.

Cheap and cheerful it does the job a lot quicker than i did when using a brush. I also use it for sealing the decking but you do have to make sure you clean it up well after every use.

might be worth renting a compressor and aspray gun from a tool hire place if you have a large area to do

If you spray the fence isn't there a good chance it will go through to next door.

Go for the roller, worked a treat for me, got it from homebase.... go on 10% day, the cuprinol paint was on 3 for 2 also..

I used one of the contrapions that is used for spraying weeds where you pump it up first to get pressure then spray it and it worked a treat. It takes a bit of practive to get the spread even, but even done badly it looks fine.

I used the pad pne last year, it was good. I heard the sprayer was useless!!
