A garden fence refreshed with new Dulux Monument paint, applied with a Wagner sprayer.
The project
We recently moved into our 1950s home and realised it was in desperate need of a new back fence and a paint refresh. Due to the poor condition of the far-back fence, we had to hire tradies to replace this portion of the fence, but we are glad that we did.

Steps
Step 1
Preparation:
- Using hedge shears, cut back the overhang from any plants on the fenceline
- Mow the grass
- Give the fence a good wash and brush with a broom to get the dirt off.
Step 2
Mix your paint and water ratio accordingly. We diluted by about 5 percent.
Step 3
Taking our time, we sprayed the fence with the nozzle at an angle with two coats. Using the cardboard, we made sure there was no extra spray going onto our neighbour's plants or pergolas. We left a day in between coats to ensure it dried properly.
Not only does the refresh give some new life into our tired fence, but also makes the yard appear larger.
