Fence Paint

[The one 8,613]

Yesterday i painted the back fence roughly 12 yards long 6 foot high using my sprayer its a hand pumped one and i used 10 ltrs  of fence paint (which i thought is a lot ) would i be better buying a electric sprayer £45 , Or am i looking at it all wrong as its no been done since the fence went up and i think it could do with another coat but the Mrs says its fine looking at the rest of the garden shed ferret hutches and kennel will be another £750 in fence paint at £7.50 for 5ltrs

Water it down for second coat for sure but between the heat and the timber jist soaking it up first coat I’d say that sounds about right mate. I Fcuking hate them sprayers tho

Thanks it does seem a lot but the tins are reduced from £10 to £7'50 LOL

I switched from a hand pump to a cheap electric sprayer last year, and the paint use dropped a fair bit because the spray was more even. Have you already made the jump? If not, you might also try thinning the paint slightly or adjusting the nozzle to cut down on overspray.

I used a sprayer to spray a set of stables and 8 field shelters,a few big sheds and a bit of fencing and i 1/3 watered the paint down ( ronseal black barn paint) and it was brilliant. Saved days and days of labour and ok had to put a few coats on but the time and effort it saved was a no brainer,can't remember the name of the sprayer but german sounding and was bright yellow and black and did cost £150 but well worth it and when this cold is over i'll be borrowing to spray my own fencing at home with it..
