How to Use a Paint Sprayer to Paint a Wood Fence - Thrift Diving

- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- #ad - We have this old wood fence in our backyard that has always been very ugly. Lots of weeds grow in this area and I'd never done anything with this space because I thought it was too shaded. But with a pretty coat of paint (I added just 1 coat) using a Wagner Control Pro 130 paint sprayer, and some de-weeding, the fence is now soooo pretty, and there are fruits and veggies planted in this space! See how I used a paint sprayer to paint my wood fence and to add a small garden! (Contains affiliate links)

In regards to the fence around the garden to keep the cats out you might want to try to make it taller if at all possible because in my experience with my garden cats can jump way higher then you think.
Girl I like your honesty, your joyful, you worked really hard, and for that reason you should use more cheer colors at your home, you are not a grey person at all, not at all. I am from Lima Perú, I would love to keep your garage always clean , cause you have male kids, a husband a house to take caré. So thanks for always be joyful, always laughing, in this time is really nice to follow you. Oh and thanks for the advise about painting a furniture or not. You really make me over think what I should do with mine.💞😊🍷🍾💐
What color did you use?
Yes... my question too. Probably avoided white because it's an old fence??
Awww, I've looked through here, your blog, the paint cans and nowhere can I find where you mention the actual color of the paint. I see numerous prior asked. Surely you have an old can dabbed for touch ups? I'll check the "base no. 30", too. Love your videos!
I watched the video all the way until the end, and I just love seeing how your family helped you along the way 💜😊
Aww, thank you!! Hubby surprised me, because he usually is busy and can't (or don't want!) to help! But now that he's home due to coronavirus, he is available more for these strenuous outdoor projects! And my youngest son...he has an agenda. If he helps, he thinks I'll buy him Robux, the virtual money on his favorite gaming platform. Lol
When you factor in the sprayer set up and clean-up these jobs are quicker with a roller.
Wow what a difference, I have purchased a spray painter, I feel confident doing my fence now seeing you doing yours, thanks, enjoy your weekend
This looks great. I have to do this very project except my son was supposed to do it.
Excellent advise! Thank you. Your garden looks great now! 👍
Good job, Serena! Looks lovely. Grey is an excellent colour to use to compliment the green in nature.
Thanks for posting this video! I have a 60 ft long picket fence that needed a new coat of paint in the worst way, and I found your video while searching for tips on painting fences. After seeing what a great job the Wagner sprayer did for you, when I saw one at Lowe's that was 10% discounted for being a previously-opened box, I snapped it up! My fence is now finished and looks great!
If I could do it over again, I'd make sure to buy two to four times as much paint as I thought I'd need. I ran out partway through and had to run out to buy more! LOL. It also takes SO MUCH TIME to clean properly - plan on at least an hour. A big chore, but I guess you still save time by not having to brush and roll!
Thanks for all your useful tips. Very helpful
The fence looks great!
GREAT WORK..I WATCHING FIRST TIME YOUR VIDEO....ITS SO IMPRESSED...GOOD LUCK
Hi Serena,
I love the color on the fence! I did not know that you have to pressure clean this type of fence. Thanks for the tutorial!
Looks really pretty.
One pro tip...ALWAYS strain your paint from the can to the sprayer. You may think because it's new you don't have to do this but use a strainer and you'll be surprised at the little bits of junk in the can. This will save you from clogging the sprayer tip and having to stop the job and clean it out.
It looks amazing!!! What color did you use?
Serena I hate to tell you but that little fence may stop a small dog from trampling yr garden but it won't deter a cat. Cats are very sensitive to smells. Mothballs work but have to be replaced after a rain. Citrus peelings repel them too. Check with your Garden Center they may have other repellents available. Also try planting a bed of catnip away from your garden to entice them to that area instead of your garden. Good luck!- love the fence color!!!
Ooh, good to know! I am hoping that they feel no need to try to climb into the garden. Lol. I was worried about the garden beds I did a couple years ago but they completely leave those alone with the fencing around it, so I'm hoping they'll leave this one alone too. I'll keep this in mind with the other natural deterrents too! Lol
@@ThriftDiving I have an outdoor cat that sees any barrier I install as a challenge lol
Love the colour, looks like new
Love watching your very informative videos. The fence looks so pretty.
Awesome work MAM.
I think you just helped me pick a fence color! I have 2 big, ruddy red plum trees out front, and my fence is currently painted brown. It makes the front very, very dark. I didn't want to paint it shocking white, but couldn't figure a good color. I think if I find a gray similar to yours it will look great!
YAY! Glad I could help! This color is absolutely perfect and I don't think any other color would have looked as good as this one did. :) And just think: it's only paint. If you don't like it, you can always re-paint it! Buy just 1 can first, and do a test area. If you like it, keep going! :) Good luck!
Could you please share the name and color of the paint...ty

Great video, thank you
Wait, What... Auto mower?
I need to get this for my deck. And will also look for this mower. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, and automower! I'm doing a campaign with Husqvarna and testing out an automower this season to see if it works well. I'm posting about it each week on FB and IG. But at the end, I'm going to do a little video to share with you my thoughts on it. Bottom line, it works well, but sometimes you really just need the fresh cut of a real lawn mower!
@@ThriftDiving fyi do not paint a deck you will be sorry. use a transparent deck stain . paint only bubbles up or comes off in big patches on decks cuz it doesnt get along with treated wood...
Gorgeous!
Good job explaining 👏
Amazing job.
Looks awesome AMAZING JOB
I was thinking the color was going to look awful but it turned out great.
Great content 👌
Looks really nice y’all!
Thank you for ur videos!
very nice
Great!
YOU CAN RINSE BY ADDING WATER AND SPRAYING WERE THE PAINT GOES...
THX FOR YOUR VIDEO
MIAMI FL.
I am soooooo dreading this! They want 20k to replace my fence, add a single and double gate! Ugggghh! I love the new color! Is it blue gray or just gray? Do you still have the name of the paint please? I think I will pay someone to do the power wash and we can paint it. When you hung the flowers I let out a great sigh! That was such a beautiful addition! I’m going to do that too!!!! Thank you for documenting all of this, editing and posting and voice over! All of this takes so much time and I appreciate it!
The fence looks brand new now. Everything looks beautiful. What a difference
Thank you, Arian!! I agree--it feels so much more fresh now! :)
Color and flowers are beautiful ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤍💖
Amazing as always!!
How long of a gate did you paint with the 5 cans? Thanks for sharing
Looks great
Thank you, David! 😀
Brava,molto bello👏👏
Wooooaoo!! Wooooaoo!! 👌😉
It looks so good!😁
Thank you!!!
Thrift Diving your welcome
Looks so good!!!
Wow it looks fantastic. I was just wondering if the wire on top of your fence has stopped the cats?
How many days after power washing fence did you wait to paint?
I'm not sure, but just make sure it's dry.
Hi I want to buy a Sander which sander is good
9:58 a hour or two 🤔 but she said she took 3 hours power washing the fence
Love the fence that is awesome. My fence needs a complete makeover to. Not in this year's budget. So when you use a spray painter and you have drips what do you do do you bring a brush along and you brush them or does distance from the sprayer to the fence prevent drips?
I found that if I was careful about not spraying too much in one place, I didn't have any drips. But I was also using a very thick, premium exterior latex paint. A thinner/cheaper paint might have more problems with drips.
How many times did you have to fill up the Wagner?
You went through 5l of paint for 10 fence slats?
Yep, lots of paint! The paint sprayer doesn't have a valve to modify the amount of spray, but the spray tip can be changed to modify it. I only had this tip.
Looks great! What did you use for your edging, bricks?
Thanks! Those were already there from the previous homeowners, thankfully!
by the time you set that up, mess about preventing overspray and spend time cleaning it all down- you could have done it with a brush that cost a few £ or $ and probably used less paint. Then there's the cost of the sprayer...
So the sprayer is for outdoor use only? btw - looks like you did great with it...
You can use it inside, too! Just make sure you have everything covered to prevent overspray. I have a rental (townhouse) that once painted with a roller before a new tenant moved in. Never again! Lol. If I had this sprayer, would have made things go much quicker.
You did 584 squats. Leg day.
What is the capacity of the Wagner?
First 1🤣😎😋
Very informative but you really should be wearing a vapor respirator and not a dust mask.
You skipped a couple steps. The reason why the fence is green is because it's covered in algae. It need to be washed with a 50/50 bleach solution let dry and then wash off with a water hose. High pressure shouldn't be used on a fence, once coated with the bleach solution just wash it down with a hose. Let dry then paint or even better stain
😍❤❤❤❤
How do I get an oil based stain off my brush? I am not being able to wash it off with soap and water
Shenaz Balasinorwala mineral spirits
Brandi is correct: mineral spirits. I hate trying to clean up with Mineral spirits!
Oh I wish you did not skip the weed block 😣. But that's OK you'll figure it out as you go along -- gardening is a journey 👍
Everything looks great BTW ☺
My dad had a beautiful garden and never used weed cloth. He used news paper and covered it with mulch. He left a narrow space between making rows for planting. Every year when he put his garden to rest he raked the mulch to the sides and covered the garden with several thicknesses of newspaper and replaced the mulch. In spring it was ready to plant again and no weeds
Yes, that's a good option, too, the newspaper. I kept telling hubby, we really need to cover this, and he was like, nooooo, just keep going. 😆 He was rushing me, to be honest. I can always go back and lay newspaper but it would be much harder now! I'm headed to get some mulch today to cover everything up!
I wish I hadn't either! Lol But I kept saying to hubby we needed to lay something, but we were already in the thick of cleaning things up, and I was rushed to continue. I'm going to go to the nursery today and get some wood chips!
@@jcrefasi1 great idea re: the newspaper! I've tried cardboard and mulch too with good results
@@ThriftDiving lol I hear you. OK great!
OMG! Where have I been? There's such a thing as an auto mower now? It's so cute! By the way, what a beautiful transformation!
Yes she's very talented.
Aww, thank you, Elizabeth!! :)
Yes, there is a such thing as an automower! I know, I was just as shocked! I'm going to post about it soon since everyone seems interested in it! :)
Great job!
An auto mower! I want one!
Why won’t you share the name of the paint color?? I noticed everyone has asked and you ignore the comment.
Awesome awesome awesome. Nice job! You always make me feel like I can do it too.
Awwww, you CAN do it!! The fear of messing up is real. But if you can get past that, you can do anything. :)
yayy serena is back with another video❤️!! Also I love this! Can’t believe that fence color makes this much of a difference! You did great!!
I started to roll my fence last year, this would be great to use but I only have three more fence panels, to do so I'll just go ahead and just finished rolling it ;) it looks really nice. Hubby, and you did an excellent job, love the fence color too.
WOW!!! How beautiful. I can not wait to see your garden when it's all grown up...lol and what that space will look like. This really came out great!
Thanks, Cindy!!
Our back fence is in need of repainting and we’re so glad we found your video! We weren’t sure if we could do it ourselves with a sprayer, but now we are confident that we can! We originally painted it by hand with a roller and brush and we are not doing that again! 😆 Thanks for sharing your knowledge! 😊🐕🐕🐾🐾
I really like the color you chose. Your back yard is looking good! 👍🏾
A great showcase video! Thank you! I admire your willingness to dive into a project like this. I wish Wagner's system would have an intake hose that would attach directly to a can of paint. The amount of waste and cleaning needed due to the design is too much for my taste.
I bought the Wagner power sprayer to paint my basement at Lowe’s. Nightmare, I ended up returning it. The sales associate told that this particular item gets returned frequently.
your basement is at Lowes?
Oh no, what was wrong with it? I would likely use a roller if I was just doing an area like a basement. But if I were doing an entire area, like my rental townhouse, I would use a sprayer. Sorry it didn't work well for you!
That's stain. Not paint.
Who knows, maybe you can barter with your neighbor: veggies for eggs!
Lol, great idea, but I'm a strict vegetarian! No eggs in this household. Lol
Lovely! What’s the name of the paint color.
You are my DIY HERO!!
i don't believe you can paint a fence in an hour or two. how many coats did you get on? I just sprayed my fence, 3 coats , 50 metres of fence, both sides of the fence. it took forever.
You sound like someone who should be hiring a painting crew and just spending the money because we paint fences everyday, 3 coats takes about 2 hours after prep
Thanks so much for making this video! My hubby wants to spray paint our fence as well. We will be using your tips. :)
I love your videos lady,feels good to see other strong females getting things done. 🙌👑💓 your projects are always informative,love the soft tones you use when explaining the process step by step. Never seem rushed, an love how you easily laugh things off when they don't go as you planned. 🙏💓 thank you for your videos an inspiring fellow ladies like myself.
Absolutely gorgeous say those cats do not like mothballs so long your fence make a little hole and put mothballs in their down about an inch you know don't put them near your plants but I'll tell you what that'll keep snakes away rabbits out of your garden cuz they don't like mothballs get the ones from Walmart not the ones from a dollar store because the ones from Walmart or more potent and I love the fence and the little points on the other side it just kind of saves the other person from half and to seal that part of the fence and thank God nobody looked over that fence while you were spraying that that would have been bad you have a beautiful day thank you very much I loved every minute of it
Thank god another video🎉🎉🎊🎊🎊
Lol, I'm here! Even if I'm late with posting, it means I'm working on something behind the scenes and it's coming! Lol
Very nice job! Could you please tell what paint did you use, what color?😊
Great video, I will do this when my neighbour is not home.
Neighbour to wife, 🤔” sweetheart, we’ve had a blue jay with an upset tummy, it dodo blueish 🦤 all over our windows. 😂.
Hey, the neighbours just got their fence replaced🤫hey, wait a minute,🙃, or was it a school of blue jays with upset stomachs.
I wanna buy one of these but there $300 near me. After painting half of a log house on the exterior I think I might invest in one for the rest should literally save me 10-20 hours as i spend about 2 full days 18 hours roughly just painting 1/3-1/2 of the exterior
Hi Serena, how many square feet is that fence and how tall is it? I'm trying to figure out how much paint to buy. I'm planning two coats and want to try to get it right as the paint here is very expensive and the fence is asbestos, which means it'll likely suck up the first coat. Cheers from Western Australia!
Congratulations. You did a great job. I love to see how women can do great things 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Wow no one’s talking about how she painted her neighbors fence? What I f her neighbor painted their fence bright pink and it got on hers. Very tacky and just plain rude.
We are looking paint our fence.
But, just want to make sure nothing goes to the neighbour's side and demages there plants.
So did that happen to you??
Gray?? Ugh that’s such an ugly depressing color! Maybe if it was more translucent maybe
Have you mixed anything in water to get rid of mold and dust from fence before painting or just tap water
Love your video and the fence looks great! I just had one installed and can't wait to stain it. I watched a lot of videos, but the flowers got me on this one. :-) I'm going to 'copy' that idea. Thanks for the video!!
Errrr, you CANNOT return unused paint in the USA!?!? Is that for real??
Wow! Great job! Thanks for the inspiration!
That is a awesome transformation. I want to know how effective is the wire on top of the fence. Does it the squirrels away
Great video. I love the fence, and the flowers really set it off. Thanks for sharing your talents.
Beautiful transformation
I love pressure washing! Great work!
Nice
bad thing about double sided fence is - you won't be able to reach wood between sides ( where gaps are ) , when you look from an angle can you see some old not painted spots ?
Not if you take your time and get in there.
Does anyone know the name of the color she used by behr? Thanks!
I pressure washed a year ago is it necessary to do it again? Took a month to do.
Hi...does anyone know what the brand and paint color name is?
