    How do I paint an old wooden fence?

    If you already have a fence in your garden and wants to restore it with a new coat of paint, to beautify it and at the same time protect it from the weather, you must first do some preparation work.

    1. Remove all remnants of the old paint so that the new layer of paint adheres well and is applied evenly.
    2. You sand the flaking paint residues and places in the wood that show cracks, very thoroughly. Smooth areas on your old fence should also be sanded, because this helps the new paint to adhere better.
    3. Then remove any dust and dirt from the wooden fence. Using a hand brush and a micro-fibre cloth this can be done quickly and thoroughly.
    4. And now you are ready to start spraying. It is up to you whether you choose paint, stain or a special weather resistant coating. If you also want to opt for more environmentally friendly products when choosing materials, look out for a eco-label such as the "Blue Angel" or the "EU Flower" on the containers.
