Step 1;
Brush off loose dirt. Brush away any loose debris or dirt using a stiff brush. It's a good idea to pull out any old nails or screws sticking out of your panels and to remove any hanging baskets or objects that might be in the way. You can also sand down any rough areas or splinters that stick out from the panels to ensure they are as smooth and as flat as possible for a better finish.
Step 2;
Use a paint brush for fiddly bits. Start by painting the edges and hard to reach places, such as near brick walls or delicate plants, using a 2" paint brush. You may also need a smaller 1" brush to get into awkward gaps.
Step 3;
Use a roller to cover larger areas. Next up, use a medium pile standard roller to cover the larger areas of the fence. Work your way from top to bottom, using horizontal strokes for horizontal planks of wood and vertical strokes for vertical planks. Following the direction of the timber will give you a better, smoother finish and allows for a speedier application.
Step 4;
Apply a second coat once dry. Once your first coat is dry, apply a second coat, repeating the steps above. This will help to give your paint colour depth, ensures a longer-lasting finish and increases your protection benefits.
Step 5;
Step back and admire Once your second coat is dry, you can remove the protective covering from your plants and admire your freshly painted fences. Safe in the knowledge that they will look great for years to come and your hard work is done.
