Does anyone have any advice on using a spray for fence paint. I've never done this before and would welcome comments. I've done the easily accessible parts with a brush - and was thinking of a fine spray for some difficult to reach parts and trellis sections.
Thanks

Dont do what my cousin done. Spray the fence at the bottom of his garden and when he went through the gate to do other side the paint had gone through and sprayed his neighbours BMW and the front of his TVR. ;D Luck had it he got on very well with his neighbour but he spent a weekend out there polishing it out. :o :o :D :D ;D ;D

If you use this you'll need to cover up all your plants!!! i'm not joking

Aye over spray gets every where. It was all over the windows of my place and next doors. Lucky for me they knocked it down :o :o

I have used electric Airless sprays to do my fencing with no problems at all. :y
Obviously, common sense is required at to the weather conditions etc.
Being as these spray systems are low pressure, overspray is not such a problem as conventional systems ;)

Yes dont do it in a light breeze or you will go indoors looking like the incredible hulk or a bad sun burn all depends on what colour you use. ;D :D ;D :y

I have used the low pressure big garden sprayer, the pump action type, to do this and it worked well, was a few years ago, which reminds me I need to do it again..... ::) ::) ::)

i brought wifey one of those cuprinol pump up sprayers for her birthday last year seemed to work fine when i ended up using it about £25 homebase i think :y

Another vote for pump action garden sprayer. Creosote though, back when it was proper stuff, although full of bits that clogged the filter. Still quicker and less messy than a brush.

Not had great results with them to be honest.
They can be quite messy and it does not last great as its not forced into the wood as well as a brush does.
