Of course painting your fence is usually for cosmetic purposes, but you shouldn’t forget that the paint can also provide protection from elements. It’s recommended that fences should be given a protective coat of paint every couple of years.
Before you paint your fence, prepare the area around your fence. Make sure to cut the grass along the fence line, and drop plastic sheeting in the fence section.
When picking the right paint, make sure that it’s an outdoor paint! These are specially treated to not be effected by weather. There’s different versions available from Acrylics, Oil-based paint to Enamels. We recommended Acrylics seeing as it’s very durable. Make sure to apply a primer beforehand though.
When painting think about how you want it done. If you have a long fence, then an industrial spray will get the job done quickly, but if it’s a short fence then a roller will suffice.
