Product Information

Water-based and harmless to pets and plants, actual coverage achieved depends on whether you’ve opted for brush or gun and on the surface you’re covering, but as a rule you’ll always get more coverage using a brush than a spray gun. It’s time for the fun part. Let’s get painting! Choose fence paint with a tough and durable formula that has been specially designed to be used on exterior wood. Whether you use a paint brush or paint sprayer is up to you. If you have fence panels with large, flat areas, you can use a 9-inch roller to speed up the painting process. But for most panels, a 4-inch roller is perfectly adequate.

Protecting wood for two years, One Coat goes on easily and is showerproof in as little as one hour (climate dependent), and as One Coat only requires, well, one coat, you can have the whole job done and dusted in next to no time, leaving you to go and do something far more interesting instead.

Both types of product usually contain anti-mould elements and an ingredient that will help waterproof your fence panels, to stop any moisture from getting in and rotting the timber. When Should You Paint Your Fence Panels? Due to its expert technical knowledge of the technologies and materials available across the industry, Promain has a reputation for outstanding service among its trade and retail customers. European softwoods (e.g., Scots pine, Norway spruce or maritime pine) are sensitive to the elements, so they must be treated regularly. You can use any of the treatments available, depending on your preference. First, you will need a 4-5 inch brush and maybe a smaller brush, too, for hard-to-reach areas. Make sure you have protective sheets on the floor to catch drips.

Alternatively, you can use one of the best pressure washers, but you will need to wait for at least 24 hours for the fence to dry before recommencing the paint job. A panel should take around 15-30 mins to paint, depending on how precise you are. This is the slowest method but also the simplest, as you only need a brush. Timbercare costs less than half the price of most other exterior wood treatments, but it’s still water-based and safe around plants and pets – the trade-off here is that it also takes five hours to dry, so you’ll want to make sure you apply it when there aren’t any rainclouds on the horizon.Next, you need to clean your fence — especially if it's an older fence. Use a stiff hand brush or wire brush to remove any dirt and debris from the surface. Cover adjacent plants and grass with a plastic dust sheet to protect them from the cleaning detergent. One final nice touch is that Sandtex’s special Microseal formulation is dirt-resistant, so your posts should remain pristine with a minimum of intervention on your part. Great news. The rain and cold (5°C and below) are your enemies when painting a fence; ergo, the spring and summer months are the best time to paint outside. There are several options to consider when painting a fence. We take a closer look at each one, its pros and cons, and how best to apply.
