    • Painting wooden fences: quickly and efficiently with Eva Brenner

    While taking a break on the terrace, you notice for the first time that the garden fence needs a new coat of paint. Instantly you conjure up the thoughts of painstakingly dipping and applying the paint with a brush. The prospect of painting the garden fence for hours in the sun does not sound tempting at all. Eva Brenner shares this sentiment, together we show you how it can be done differently. With the new cordless paint sprayer from WAGNER, painting the wooden fence is a breeze and you can finally look at a freshly painted garden fence again.

    How to Paint a wooden fence: step by step

    That's what you need:

    • Cleaning cloth 
    • Masking material
    • Painter's tape
    • Varnish or glaze in the desired colour
    • some water for thinning
    • Cardboard for the spray test

    Step 1: Sanding the garden fence

    Step 1: Sanding the garden fence

    First sand the garden fence with a sander to remove any previous varnish or paint. Slightly roughen the surface so the paint adheres properly. It is best to use a sander for this.  

    Step 2: Remove paint and dust from the fence

    Step 2: Remove paint and dust from the fence

    After sanding, clean the fence with a cloth to remove dust and paint residue. This will give you better results when you are painting later. 

    A little tip:

    Machines from the BOSCH Power for All Alliance use the same battery as the WAGNER W 600 FLEXiO 18V sprayer. So, for example, you can use the sander - just like many other tools around the house and garden - with your existing battery. 

    Step 3: Cover up

    Step 3: Cover up

    Cover the ground around your wooden fence. It is best to use painters dust sheets, plastic or an old sheet to prevent paint going onto the lawn. It is best to remove fittings from the garden gate before spraying or mask them using a professional masking tape. 

    Step 4: Prepare the sprayer

    Schritt 4: Sprühsystem vorbereiten

    Prepare your WAGNER W 600 FLEXiO 18 V sprayer for painting. To do this, fill the paint, varnish or stain into your spray attachment container and dilute by up to 10% if required. Then click the spray attachment with the fence symbol onto your sprayer and carry out a small spray test on cardboard before you start actually painting the fence. 

    Step 5: Painting the wooden fence with the sprayer

    Step 5: Painting the wooden fence with the sprayer

    Start painting your garden fence, applying a primer first if required. Make sure to work at an consistent speed and keep a distance of about 10-15 cm from the fence. For narrow areas on wooden fence, the spot detailed spray setting is ideal and allows you to work very precisely.

    Care and protection:

    The wood of your fence is exposed to all kinds of weather outside. Without a coat of paint or varnish, rain, snow and different temperatures all affect the garden fence and they will quickly become weathered.

    How often should the fence be painted?

    Normally, it is sufficient to repaint or varnish your wooden fence every three to six years. It always depends on how strong the weather influences are in your garden.
