Rust-Oleum AE0553400UK Garden furniture paint, Flint, 400 ml

Product Information

As Garden Shades often goes on directly to the wood, without a primer, sometimes it will soak deep into the wood and this can create the need for a third coat. This may be noticeable with rougher woods, open end grains or indeed deep colours. If wood has been exposed and dried out for a long period of time, this may also draw the more of the product away from the surface and into the wood structure.

Equipped with a 1300 ml detachable paint reservoir, it’s also up there as having one of the biggest capacities featured on this list. Larger areas can be covered with less refilling; it will likely need to be topped up with more paint after every 1 – 2 fence panels as a guide. Paintbrushes make for slow work. This much we know. But it can also be much more difficult to apply paint evenly with a paintbrush. Furthermore, they often leave visible brush marks, and can even cover up the pleasing aesthetic properties of the surface.Some fence sprayers are quite specific about the type of paint they can be used with, and this can really limit you. Especially if you already have some paint that you’re hoping to use.

Whilst able to be used with all the aforementioned paints, they may need to be thinned down more than they would with a more expensive model which can lead to another coat being required. There are four nozzles included, of differing spray diameters: 1.5 mm, 1.8 mm, 2.2 mm and 2.8 mm. These are used to help spray paint of different viscosities, as well as define the spray size depending on the job. Several other adjustments can be made, including changing paint flow rate and breadth of spray, to fully customise application.

On top of this, there are three spray nozzle sizes included; the 1.0 mm and 1.8 mm diameter nozzles work well with thin paint like sealants and varnishes, whilst the larger 2.6 mm diameter nozzle makes it easier to spray more viscous paint. I recommend looking for a fence sprayer with a sizeable reservoir capacity of at least 1000ml . You’ll see that most of the sprayers featured below fit this specification. It’s also worth looking for a lightweight paint sprayer, under 2kg – they get heavier once filled! You might also want to consider a design with a shoulder strap if you’re keen to spread the weight slightly more evenly. It’s easy to see that some fence sprayers will need refilling more often than others. That said, refilling isn’t too time consuming and it will still be much faster than using a paintbrush. So, it’s up to you how much importance you put on this factor. As is noticeable from the price, this VonHaus sprayer is more of a basic model, and therefore it doesn’t have as many adjustable settings as some of the pricier options. This essentially results in a machine that is well suited to larger-scale jobs (doors, fencing, etc.) but may not have the accuracy of more expensive models when it comes to precise tasks.
