Staining a Fence with a sprayer

[@dwade6322]

Its nice to see a regular person present a regular way to do a project. Thank you!

[@shutupdog11]

Whoa , those doors and hardware are Boss . I used the same behr product stain. A few years back it was just clear . Now to match my fence w transparent they have to add some tint to match . All and all , it's a great product that lasts a few years till I have to reapply . Thanx for the video . You did fantastic by the way. 👏👍

I like wood fences that are cared for.

[@DIYMontreal]

Keeps them looking good for a long time.

[@pjmtts]

That gate looks great. I really like the design.

[@rickpalechuk4411]

The finish turned out really nice, thanks for sharing.

[@DIYMontreal]

Thanks! It was a bit too orange for my taste, but I'll get used to it!

[@TwoSierraEcho]

That looks great. One project at a time, you'll get there.

[@DIYMontreal]

Thanks, that's the plan... Slowly but surely!

[@robertbischoff1817]

Nice job! I just moved and currently my shop is a mess as well. I never realized how many little things I had done to my last shop that starting over seems like an endless task. Good luck with the reno.

[@DIYMontreal]

Oh my I can't imagine how daunting it must feel to start over in a new shop! But I guess it also opens up new possibilities for improvement. Good luck!

[@christofix]

Great video! That sprayer looks so easy to use. Last week i did a paintjob in my workshop and it took me hours to paint with a brush. The blooper in the end is hilarious!

[@DIYMontreal]

The sprayer was amazing for covering a fence and it also comes with another attachment for detailed finishing that I'm looking forward to trying!

[@TheDogLife5225]

Great video and info. Love the doors! Thanks for adding the bloopers.. makes me forget how much more work I still have to do.

[@leandrohungria]

I'm glad I ran into this video. Thank you for all the tips! I wanted to do a very light stain on my fence. The Behr "clear" transparent waterproofing shown in this video is very similar to what I wanted (a slight darker shade). I still think that it's a bit deceiving for Behr to have a tint on a clear/transparent product.

[@DIYMontreal]

Great, glad it came in n handy. Good luck with your fence!

[@lynboxer2920]

GREAT work!!! I love doing this kind of work.

[@jean-marclariviere7618]

great job on your....vertical deck. I bought the same gun and loving it since.....so much wood at my place...have a great reno...thought at the beginning it was because of the floods we got...ouff...beby

[@DIYMontreal]

lol thanks! I have a small fence so I can only imagine if you have a big one! A sprayer like this is the only way to go.

[@jean-marclariviere7618]

Gorgeous fence!!

[@DIYMontreal]

Thanks!

[@JohnRedEagleBailey]

Opps. Pro painters tip. For stains, paints etc, always mix thoroughly before use. AND if you have more than one container/gallon of paint or stain, pour into a larger container and mix so that the blend together and the entire project looks evenly applied through out.

[@nitinware1]

Really helpful video - thanks for posting this!!!

[@DIYMontreal]

My pleasure!

[@mottsseaunuu4457]

Great video...was wondering how to use my sprayer and how my stain looks like. You have the Flexio 3000 it looks like and the Behr clear no. 400 (the exact one I have for my staining job tomorrow). Good now I don’t have to return the stain. I thought it was gonna be darker but no it looks perfect. Thanks for the video.

[@leethompsonish]

Very helpful thanks. Just wondering if gasoline is an appropriate substitute for the sprayer as i want to get rid of fence but can't be bothered taking it down. The neighbour agrees to put a new fence in and that.

[@DIYMontreal]

Haha! Interesting thought 🙄😮

[@kartikmankad9428]

Can you do an update on the stain and how it’s held up? Thanks!

[@gergemall]

BEAUTIFUL

[@jigsey.]

Great fence ms

[@gregherman7906]

Great content.

[@jakematic]

"A little booboo" I would have had half that gallon on the ground ! Looks really great ! Think I will get that same sprayer as the next (outdoor) project is to put up some privacy fence.

[@DIYMontreal]

Ha! well good thing I didn't spill more cause I barely had enough stain to finish the job. The sprayer is great for fences and decks too I'm sure. And there's another attachment for fine finishing which makes it pretty versatile.

[@FernandoGarcia-iz3ni]

Hello, I plan to buy some tools to start doing things in wood, things for home, beds and simple furniture for example, the query I wanted to ask you is if you know the oscillating multipurpose tool, also called oscillating multitool that brings pointers for sanding, to make cuts, etc, I do not know if I buy (apart from a circular saw) a multitool of those that I mention or a jig and a sander, I hope you can help me, thanks

[@DIYMontreal]

Well I don't even own a multi oscillating tool so I'm not sure that would be at the top of my list. Definetly an orbital sander. I would go with a miter saw instead of a circular saw personally for greater precision. Good luck!

[@imrankaram6958]

If I apply decking oil too early, say 6hrs after preservative treatment and my decking oil is ineffective, whay should I do? Recoat later with decking oil or respray with preservative treatment?

[@redwood1957]

That's a great fence and gate did u build that if so is there a video? Thank you

[@MariaSanchez-zq4rz]

You are telling me to cover the hardware to late, jk lol, great job.🙂

[@futbol1972]

I just got the same sprayer. Went to home depot to get stain for my cedar fence and some white paint to paint a kitchen drawer and a door. I asked them if I had to thin down ether paint or stain and they said no. Lol. So I don't know the ratio of thining stain and paint in wagner container? Also do u guys think I should use a clear stain to stain my other house fence which is red wood??

[@pteddie6965]

How about some more ideas for easy to make Christmas gifts?

[@DIYMontreal]

I think I used up all my ideas on the video I made last year! Let me think about it...

[@kevinbtheemt]

Where can I get that kit for the barn door-style gate?

[@santiroberts9211]

Great video. Thank you!

[@luisgcontreras2]

Good job on the DIY. The sliding gate looks amazing, did you make a how for your sliding gate?

[@DIYMontreal]

Thanks! I didn't make the gate myself, had a pro do it.

[@fireade2k380]

How many feet of fence do you think you can cover before refilling the container?

[@DIYMontreal]

My fence is 8 feet tall and I refilled maybe after 15 feet.

[@OscarGonzalez-jw3ov]

Great video. What nozzle size did you use?.

[@daseyduck]

nice Job girl what inside of a room. I putting wood up in sewing I hand stain can I use the sprayer on it.

[@manoelbrito176]

Thankyou

[@NirvanaWoodWorksbyJanie]

I love your fence! Was this a project you took on yourself? Looks solid, like it will not ever sag over time. Thanks and happy Sunday

[@DIYMontreal]

Thanks, really love the fence too but I can't take credit for it. I knew what I wanted but found a company that specializes in sliding gates like this

[@sylvainbosse1344]

Nice fence! Will the paint sprayer leave a finish thick enough for outdoor use?

[@DIYMontreal]

Absolutely! I sometimes had to dial it back because I was flooding the boards too fast.

[@ronnieowens2510]

When are you going to start posting videos again, I look forward to seeing them ?

[@DIYMontreal]

Hey thanks for asking! My workshop has been "condemned" for several months due to my home renos, but I'm happy to say I'll be getting back at it very very soon! Stay tuned :-)

[@cozydram1]

love the outages .......oh good job......are you doing the reno's your self?

[@DIYMontreal]

Sorry for the late reply! I've contracted out most of the work due to the complexity and amount of work to be done (it's been 4 months now...). Back in the shop very very soon!!

[@scotty2dreads]

Cool thank you ✌️

[@DIYMontreal]

Thanks!

[@PSON_]

How did the stain hold up? Is it peeling? I've been reading reviews Behr stains and Im getting mixed reviews. Great review on the sprayer btw.

[@DIYMontreal]

After 1 winter the stain still looks exactly like after applying it. No peeling. Only time will tell how it holds up long term.

[@PSON_]

@@DIYMontreal Lets hope it does last you 3+ years as its a PIA to redo every couple of years. I decided to go with SW Superdeck as its been rated top 5 on consumer reports.

[@lynnchevrier7864]

Hi, looks great! Love the sliding mechanism. This is what I need. Where did you buy it? Thanks

[@DIYMontreal]

I had this fence custom made but my understanding is that the rails, wheels and all the hardware came from a big box hardware store.

[@dominicdoesit_tv292]

Nice!

[@ries1905]

[@mayssm]

"Use a stiff brush to clean each board one by one." Holy cow that sounds like torture. We've got a 6" wood fence around about 1/3 of an acre...

[@CRJ2929]

Do you not need to thin the stain? You have to with paint, what about with stain

[@lawrencescriber7267]

What chemical did you clean your sprayer out with

[@timdunlevy1810]

Marie, It's early April, how does the fence look after 10 months? Would you still recommend the Behr product? How did you determine which product to use? I was going to use Thompson's Water Seal but the reviews aren't that good. I live near Chicago so I need something that will protect against the harsh winter months like Montreal! Thanks for taking time to read this. Tim

[@DIYMontreal]

Hi, After the winter I can say the fence still looks exactly the same as when I did it. I was kind of hoping the color would fade, but no luck lol. So far I would recommend the Behr. I've hear bad things about Thompsons as well, will only last 1 year. I honestly chose the product by convenience (at Home Depot) but wanted something that promised to last for several years and that was not film forming as I've read they will flake off after a few years.

[@timdunlevy1810]

Thanks!

[@hoguemr]

Hi, great video! Can you use that paint sprayer for paint too now that you used it for this? Like can you switch back and forth using the same sprayer?

[@DIYMontreal]

Yes, there are different attachments for paint

[@sonnysatar5916]

How many coating did you do on each side?

[@tstuckart1145]

Tell me about those doors.

[@cliffclavin2503]

Clear or neutral stains to not protect against UVA or UVB. The only way to protect against UVA and UVB is to paint it. But that is counter intuitive for using nice looking wood. A happy medium is using a semi transparent stain which give much better UVA and UVB protection. That being said, all wood exposed to sunlight will gray out eventually.

[@mikehughes8023]

Was that a Wagner sprayer that you were using?

[@DIYMontreal]

All the products I used are linked to in the video's description. Here's the sprayer : amzn.to/2Wz0qyA

[@jeffseven328]

Point 7 , nice job on the fence but did you have any over spray on the other side of the fence?

[@DIYMontreal]

Nope, none at all. But perhaps because my boards are close together. Hard to say for sure.

[@rossanobonito1892]

Hey great video! I was wondering, how much stain did you go through? Would you say that you use more with the gun? Or if you were to do it by hand? I have about 175 feet of fence to do, both sides and wanted to know for cost if I should use a sprayer. Thank you!

[@DIYMontreal]

I used 2 full cans. I have 25 linear feet, almost 8 foot tall, did both sides.

[@rossanobonito1892]

@@DIYMontreal Thank you! Do you think spraying will use more stain then paint brush?

[@DIYMontreal]

No, I wouldn't think so

[@bodeine454]

It looks great but I think you're confusing a finish with a stain. This is a finish coat, a stain soaks into the wood and changes the color but doesn't give much or any protection from the elements unless you're using a combination finish/stain in which it does both at the same time.

[@DIYMontreal]

Well I thought I was using a finish coat at first but then noticed it was more of a combo.

[@ss4goku34]

So to waterproof a fence, do i need to get a finish or a stain?

[@bodeine454]

@@ss4goku34 You need either a finish or a finish/stain combo, just a stain alone won't do anything but change the color. The hardware store can help you with that, they'll point you in the right direction.

[@ss4goku34]

@@bodeine454 gotcha. I have the 2nd can she was using but i might switch to the first one so it doesnt change color
