I too have painted and stenciled my concrete patio. A word to the wise. If you are painting on raw concrete - concrete that has never been painted before, you must etch the concrete first, with an acid solution, to prep the concrete so that your paint will stick. U went through a lit if time and expense, to paint a large concrete patio, only to have it peel in the first winter! Now I am repainting it, after power washing all of the previous paint off, etched it, painted it, stenciled it, and you must put a sealer on top. For me it was a lot of work, but it really defines an outdoor space.
3 words i can think of. Wow wow wow. Really like the finished look. Well worth the effort i bet and has given the garden a lovely focal point. Thanks for an amazing tutorial. Given me lots of inspiration for ideas in the garden.
That look fabulous! The darker color on the edges looks much better than the light grey did as it is a better transition into the green grass. I want to do this but where I live I have to pressure wash my concrete regularly due to large oak trees that make a mess and I don't think paint would hold up. :(
It looks amazing but don't forget to put a sealer, that stops it from fading, you have to have the patio spotless and bone dry before you put the sealer, good luck
I love it,I'm doing mine today. I came across a post two weeks back of a lady who did her garden for £100 and was fascinated. Now I'm hooked on doing mine but the weather is not on my side but today I'm determined come rain or shine. I've done the base colour white today I'm stencilling with black colour though I wanted duck egg
I absolutely love this. The video, explanation, paint, how you have applied, accessories used, everything was perfect. Well done, it looks amazing. On my way to B&Q now. Already have the stencils.
I am in the process of stenciling my back porch and appreciate your video. It is definitely a process but I think the out come is going to be stunning. How is your patio holding up after a few years? Did you seal it?
I've just started painting my patio and have the same trouble as you, as the grey is very light. had white for the stenciling but I think I'll do same as you. outstanding job
This is great. I've been wanting to do this on our front porch. I will do it when the weather warms up! Thank you! Nice job! (Oh, one small tip; I would put brick pavers all around it, to finish the edges.)
Wow kerry! That turned out amazing! Who would have thought that a lump of concrete could turn into a thing of beauty! You have certainly put your STAMP(😉) on your new garden! 👌👌🙋♀️
Love this video! Im tempted to have a go once the weather warms up a bit. Roll on spring! I hope its easy to match up the stencil pattern. Wonder how it look now mid Winter?
This is such a fun project to do.. its very easy to match up once you have done it once or twice, then it just comes naturally!! Good luck.. you will love it :) xxx
This is really inspirational! Could you tell me how it fares in wet weather? For example has the painted surface made any difference to surface water? Is it at all slippery when wet?
That looks so pretty Kerry! I'm seriously considering this now for our unsightly patio, but I'm wondering if it's as easy as you made it look? Is it easy to make the pattern match up? Can you see through the stencil so you can match it up? I'm not very artistic! Xx
Kerry looks amazing I think im goona do something like that my partner she keeps telling me to do something but I couldn't think of something bcse my garden patio is massive area and its slabed too..
@@KerryWhelpdale gotta say when I first saw the video come up I was wow patio stenciling that's a new one ,, ok then lol . Was very surprised, it's amazing so glad your pleased with it x
I didn’t seal it but lots of people say if you do it will last longer.. but I would say there is no rush, but I probably would seal it just to make it last as long as possible :) xxx
The paint is still looking great a year down the line.. you can also paint over it with a sealant.. I didn't and it still looks fab, but it is a good idea just for it to last even longer :) xxx
Hi I bought Santex masonry paint but some people say it’s a no no for patio area. Can I ask if you used a primer or sealer. I’ve bought 10Lts don’t want to waste it. Love your comments.thank you.
I got the Valspa masonary paint and it’s brilliant.. 4 months in and it’s still perfect :) I didn’t use any sealant either, just the paint and it’s stayed on so well :) xxx
I didn't put a seal on and a year on its still looking fab.. but, I think if you have some then put some on.. our colour hasn't faded one bit though over the time xxx
Nice job. I see its been almost a year since you put the video up. Is the paint still intact? not peeled away or faded? Did you put a sealer on the top?
It’s still perfect :) I’m so so happy with it and it still looks as good as new :) I didn’t put sealer on it either, so if you do then it will last for even longer :) xxx
Hi. How much paint did you use to paint the whole concrete? My area is around double size of yours and I would like to know if one small bucket like yours would be enough paint. :) If you could remember how much gray and black paint you used separelety, I would thank you very much!!
I used about 1.5litres to paint mine so if yours is double I would say a 2.5litre pot to do the base is plenty.. then to do the stencil I hardly used any paint at all.. less than 0.5 litres for the stencil ing :) xxx

Great job! I liked that you went with the darker color it really stands out beautifully.
It looks amazing but don't forget to put a sealer, that stops it from fading, you have to have the patio spotless and bone dry before you put the sealer, good luck
👏🏼
Can u suggest a good sealer plz
Looks posh. The garden looks so lovely.
It’s getting there.. still lots to do but slowly it’s getting there!! Lol xxx

You will love it :) I admire my patio all the time and it’s been painted quite some time now.. but it just looks so pretty and I love it :) xxx
Thanks Kerry 💖

I think it looks really great with the lighter and darker paint.. you will love it :) xxx
This is great. I've been wanting to do this on our front porch. I will do it when the weather warms up! Thank you! Nice job! (Oh, one small tip; I would put brick pavers all around it, to finish the edges.)
ohh thats a great idea.. I need to watch a youtube tutorial on how to do that as I am useless with DIY!! xxx

This looks amazing. Looking for tips for my front patio area. I do have a question, did seal it with anything?
I didn’t seal it but lots of people say if you do it will last longer.. but I would say there is no rush, but I probably would seal it just to make it last as long as possible :) xxx
Wow that looks awesome. X
Such a massive difference isn’t it :) xxx
Great job! I'm inspired to try this on a concrete slab in front of my house. How did the paint hold up over time?
The paint is still looking great a year down the line.. you can also paint over it with a sealant.. I didn't and it still looks fab, but it is a good idea just for it to last even longer :) xxx
Looking good.

Looks great, can you let us know how it fares up when washing it with a power hose as thats my concern when cleaning it and having it next year
Go Kerry‼️👏👏👏 looks great! 👌 xx
Beautiful🎉
Did you have to put sealant on top to seal in the paint so it doesn't fade over time due to weather and foot traffic?
I didn't put a seal on and a year on its still looking fab.. but, I think if you have some then put some on.. our colour hasn't faded one bit though over the time xxx
Looks amazing, love it 😊
Love it
Such a big difference isn’t there :) xxx
Looks fab Kerry 👏🏻 xx
Oooh looks lovely ❤️
So glad you like it :) xxx

Wow!!
Such a difference isn’t it :) xxx
Amazing job young lady
Looks fantastic. Where did you get the stencil??
I have linked it in my descriptions box.. I got mine from Etsy.. but if you google it then lots of other designs will come up too :) xxx
Did you need a varnish over it? To seal it and how well does it wash?
Wonderful - how's it holding up? Did you apply any sealant?
It still looks perfect.. I didn’t add any sealant and it’s rained, had chairs pulled all over it and still looks great :) xxx
Amazing!!! Love it xx
Lovely! Well done x
Well done darling amazing work!! X
Hi Kerry I love everything about this. Subscribed. How is it holding up?

How does this paint fair with the weather? How is it a year later?
Wow - looks really professional! Which paint was it you used in the end of the dark grey?
We had it mixed up at b&q for our decking and it’s the same colour as ‘railings’ by farrow and ball :) xxx
@@KerryWhelpdale what’s the color name of the farrow and ball? Want to find it here in PNW -USA
@@elisabucklin2860 it’s farrow and ball down pipe.. really lovely colour :) xxx
