Spraying fence treatment

Will a handheld pump action sprayer spray cuprinol fence treatment or is it too thick ?
If it does - this will save hours of time and £'s of money rather than buying a spray gun........

I would expect it to be too thick - though that isn't a definate answer.

If they are slot in panels lift them out and lay them out flat. Then slosh it on with a big brush - really quick and effective.

If you do decide to spray on the fence treatment, spare a thought for your neighbours, if any.

The airborn spray can travel a long way even with no wind. Having had washing, windows, walls, plants and garden furniture splattered with brown fence preservative by a thoughtless neighbour I would be happy to see the spraying of fences banned with the death penalty for offenders.

Yes it will, a friend of ours does this -

having said that I don't know if she thins it down at all ...

probably best to read the tin -

Eight years ago - we paid for the fence to be fitted (it was our responsibility) - we hand painted 8 panels green - using brushes - our lovely neighbours decided to spray their side a thick muddy brown - using a high power spray - this oozed through to our side and trickled down our side - looking awful - plus, as you state it blew in the wind all over our conservatory and windows - which took considerable effort to remove !!
So - if we do spray (using either a gun or hand held) - we will remove the panels and do a proper job - against a clear wall - and we will ensure that some green accidentally ends up on the other side !!
