Fence Painting Tips
- If painting both sides of the fence, double the calculated amount of paint or stain.
- Use a sprayer for large fence projects to save time, then back-brush for even coverage.
- Fence pickets have edges and gaps that increase paint usage. Add 15-20% extra to your estimate.
- Exterior-grade paint or stain with UV protection will last longer on fences exposed to sunlight.
- New pressure-treated wood should dry for 1-3 months before painting or staining for best adhesion.
- For privacy fences, a paint sprayer is the most efficient application method.
