Fence Paint
Just bought a pump up fence paint sprayer, mainly for the awkward areas that you can't get to with a brush. But I wondered if the normal brush on fence paint (if diluted ) could be used in the sprayer. The problem being I have gallons of the ordinary stuff
, and I have noticed the sprayable type is quite expensive. Anyone tried this ?

I always try to use oil based preservatives as it soaks into the fence timber giving longer protection. Water based stuff is thinner and simply creates a coating which soon cracks and lets the water get through to the wood, I think it is poor quality but
has to be thin to get through the spray nozzle.0 -
Our next door neighbour decided to spray paint his side of the fence. On our return home we found that it had sprayed through the fence. There were tiny spots of paint all over our patio furniture, it looked awful and it took us hours to clean it all off. He did apologise, didn't realise that it had sprayed through, says he will stick to using a brush in future. So please be careful with the spray painting.

OH is outside just now using an oil based preservative with a spray and a brush. A new shed arrived yesterday and he's doing each section before putting the shed together. Not near any neighbours but the wind is a bit of a problem so he's had to move things
around.0 -
Even using a roller can produce speckling up to a couple of feet.

Had ago yesterday , paint all over my hands and running down the woodwork. I finished it off with a brush. Will try again as I think it's a matter of getting the paint and water mixture right.

I've just started to paint the fence today. Have done the shed and OH put up another bit of fence at the front. Have always used brown but have now decided to paint it green. Terrible. On new treated wood: wonderful. On treated wood: terrible (brown
and green - yuk). Up to now there are various shades of the green. The paint is supposed to be Forest Green, but we've got mud green and fern green at the moment

We had the same with our neighbour, he sprayed the fence on a very windy day and it covered the side of our caravan, the frame and glass on new patio doors, shrubs in the border and a water feature. Needless to say, we were not happy with them. So if you are going to spray, make sure your neighbour is aware so they can move anything away from the fence, as how ever much you are careful it will go through. Mind having said that, last year whilst we were away, he painted the fence, this time with a brush. We came back to find streaks of fence paint on our side, which is a different colour from our side. The thing is it is our fence and should at least have asked our permission before painting it.

If it was their fence, yes fine they don't need our permission, but it isn't their fence, it is ours.
