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

#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.

[@soffyabad]

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.💞😊🍷🍾💐

[@mantislife7463]

What color did you use?

[@lisacasparriello3711]

Yes... my question too. Probably avoided white because it's an old fence??

[@artsabeach]

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!

[@ariancera4138]

The fence looks brand new now. Everything looks beautiful. What a difference

[@ThriftDiving]

Thank you, Arian!! I agree--it feels so much more fresh now! :)

[@kitler42]

Color and flowers are beautiful ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤍💖

[@BasenjiAdventures]

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! 😊🐕🐕🐾🐾

[@ariancera4138]

Thank god another video🎉🎉🎊🎊🎊

[@ThriftDiving]

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

[@Homarid1]

I really feel you on the frustrations of the cleaning process. Great demonstration for using that sprayer.

[@sandralindor]

Beautiful transformation

[@thomaslucio5374]

We just purchased our first house. So glad i discovered your channel. Thank you.

[@Frosting1000]

The fence color looks great, it makes the flowers and greenery look brighter too

[@zarazen8110]

I watched the video all the way until the end, and I just love seeing how your family helped you along the way 💜😊

[@ThriftDiving]

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

[@bxlv1130]

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!

[@elizabetharmendariz6004]

Yes she's very talented.

[@ThriftDiving]

Aww, thank you, Elizabeth!! :)

[@ThriftDiving]

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! :)

[@Che_sells_Cshells]

Great job!

[@lindyashford7744]

An auto mower! I want one!

[@Reddylion]

Nice

[@Unknownchannel722]

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.

[@HarmonyandHope7]

I love it! I’m having my fence installed right now and I like the idea of the wire above the fence to create more privacy by adding some greenery or something to block the view of my neighbors back porch

[@ThriftDiving]

Oooh, maybe get some vines that will grow on the wire fence...? Just an idea! :)

[@AndrewAce.]

Looks great!

[@lindabentley86]

Great video. I love the fence, and the flowers really set it off. Thanks for sharing your talents.

[@darniataylor7749]

I really like the color you chose. Your back yard is looking good! 👍🏾

[@dougsweldingfabrication953]

wow... that turned out really nice. Total yard makeover

[@bbhoustontx]

Looks very nice, good job..... and what a natural beauty you are!

[@AC-qi9wo]

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.

[@soffyabad]

Girl, I just found you and you know why I subscribe? Well it was your voice and your joy in doing things. Go on girl, thanks for your honesty, your good vibe and humor. Is nice to find your channel.

Great video, thank you

[@jackyc1402]

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

[@Tinab275]

This looks great. I have to do this very project except my son was supposed to do it.

[@catriniasadler9658]

Thanks so much for making this video! My hubby wants to spray paint our fence as well. We will be using your tips. :)

[@o_b_wan]

I used a pressure washer that plugged into a normal hose it worked really well and saved me from borrowing a water blaster from a mate

[@ThriftDiving]

Whaaaaat? Wow, I would love to know what product that is. I want to try it out! Where did you get it? Got a link?

[@TheTrainstation]

Good spray 👌 Maintaining straight angle and moving up and down with it are essential tips

[@buckshotvinny8746]

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.

[@kimberlywang1934]

You never disappoint! It looks beautiful. Great job family!

[@sophiaacierto7509]

Wow! Great job! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@stevesntrains]

When you factor in the sprayer set up and clean-up these jobs are quicker with a roller.

[@battlefieldtryhard1496]

Excellent advise! Thank you. Your garden looks great now! 👍

[@lynboxer2920]

THAT LOOKS FABULOUS!!!

[@ThriftDiving]

Thank you so much!

[@veronicawhite398]

Good job, Serena! Looks lovely. Grey is an excellent colour to use to compliment the green in nature.

[@bamskills2649]

Thanks for all your useful tips. Very helpful

[@antoinettegarcia2224]

This turned out beautifully!! I love that sprayer!

[@ThriftDiving]

Thank you!!!

[@jcrefasi1]

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!!!

[@ThriftDiving]

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

[@jcrefasi1]

@@ThriftDiving I have an outdoor cat that sees any barrier I install as a challenge lol

[@LL-fb8wz]

Wow, you did it all yourself!

[@philobrien9123]

Hello from australia. Thanks for sharing your footage. I am looking at buying a similar unit the 150 sold here. What l like about footage is its "real" not some company promo that always makes it look easy. Thanks again.

[@FaithisKey792]

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.

[@danfeliciano570]

Great color, great job. Your project really enhanced the look of your backyard. Thanks for sharing.

[@katherinebecvar]

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!

[@ercly9382]

Looks great. Weeds find a way. Weed guard is a must to cut down on future use of herbicides.

[@moneymakingmikeg.9555]

It all came out great Kid!! Fence color is nice, hanging flowers are nice, & garden & stone edging is nice. Hoping all is well, Dirty Jersey out!!

[@czechboy777]

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.

[@srinivasbandla8772]

Awesome work MAM.

[@stephaniefarrar3133]

I have the same fence! I used a brush and did one side and it took forever. I used stain btw. On the other side I used a roller and it went super easy!!! I don't have a sprayer. Good job.

[@CoolCakesandCraftswithAmalia1]

LOVE YUR ROBO MOWER!!!!!!

[@theopkingdom3433]

Color looks great. Sprayer looks great. Auto mower- must know more about this. Super cool!

[@donnabeem3036]

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

[@artsabeach]

Awesome backyard! I'm going to use that same paint color because my home is red brick with gray grout. Love the hanging plants and robo mower! 😍❤👍👍

Thank you!! The whole space makes my yard feel more welcoming now, especially from the view from the windows! :)

[@dubs3400]

Nice job, good explanation!

[@kaycox5555]

Looks marvelous. I'll probably be purchasing that Wagner. Blessings.

[@RuleofFive]

You could have used a juice box to spray a beach/jomax blend to kill all the mold and mildew on the fence and then sprayed it off with the pressure washer. You can use a runner drop cloth to cover the grass or plastic mask to protect overspray on your neighbors side of the fence. You did a nice job on your fence!

[@russellborrego1689]

Fantastic job!

[@iwanttobelieve5970]

Amazing job.

Thank you for ur videos!

[@mikeallen5291]

I just bought 135 gallons and they took it back. It was the wrong grade of paint. The rep was like "Oh yeah this will go on in one coat". I Sprayed a 5 gallon bucket and it definitely did not go on in one coat. That being said, the company stepped up and told me to take the remaining 130 Gallons back, gave me my money back, send out the correct paint and some swag, and only charged me the difference in price per bucket. That, my friends, is the customer service you get when you're polite and patient.

Wow it looks great!

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.

[@terilachonce280]

your basement is at Lowes?

[@ThriftDiving]

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!
