Which Fencepaint to use?

[ukmercenary]

Hello

So I need to paint my fences. I have alot of fences so don't really want to hand paint them.
Is spraying a good idea?
I like the idea of the 5 year paints but am I right in thinking you have to hand paint them to get the 5 year warranty?

Spraying will use loads more paint, cover everything else in the garden, windows/frames, your car, your neighbours cars etc. If you get it everywhere it is a pain in the arse to remove when it's dried.

It's not that bad to apply to be honest, I've done a serious amount of fencing with it this year (about 70 linear meters with a bit more to go). First coat will probably look a little thin but the second coat sorts it out - be aware that additional coats need to be done before the wax content goes off otherwise you have to lightly sand before re-coating. Try and do it in sections so you can guarantee the second coat going on. As far as fence paints go I like it, better than a lot and it's pretty resilient.

Agree 100%, do not spray.
