What paint to paint the fence

High-quality paintwork is a real need for wooden fence. It protects at the same time strong and capricious wood from the density of moisture, direct sunlight and voracious vertoon bugs.

To open the wooden fences, paints on an acrylic or oil base are most often used, the withdrawal antiseptics or transparent varnishes. Acrylate paints are of a wide variety of colors and shades. They perfectly "fall" on the tree, giving it a spectacular appearance. What is important, such paints are resistant both to atmospheric and physical influences. During operation (approximate service life - 8-9 years), acrylic compositions practically do not change their color and long retain the initial shine.

By the way! A separate advantage of acrylate paints is the possibility of partial staining of damaged parts of the fence without visible boundaries and transitions.

Alkid (oil) paints are usually used to dye old structures with pronounced flaws and defects. True, the dense oil coating successfully hides not only all the shortcomings of the fence, but also the natural color of the tree. High-quality alkyd paints are perfectly cope with the function of the "Hydrochet" and reliably protect the wood-sensitive wood from the convergence and deformation within 4-5 years.

Note! Over time, the oil coating loses its former brightness and acquires pronounced mattness. Most color changes are noticeable when using bright and dark colors.

Tinting paints, preservatives for wood divided into glazing (semi-transparent) and opaque (opaque). The first will help to give a light shade and enhance the beauty of natural wood pattern, the second - to radically change its own color, but at the same time preserve the natural wood surface topography. Such paints have not only a decorative but also a protective function. Included in the antiseptic solutions components inhibitors block the formation of blue stain, mold and rot. The life of the glazing paint - 4-5 years, coating agents serve in 1,5-2 times longer.

Clearcoats (glaze construction) due to the presence of special pigments accentuate natural color and texture of wood. Single-layer varnish makes the wood surface shiny glossy, but it almost does not change its natural color; when you double the application of natural wood hue becomes more vivid, deep and saturated.

In case of repeated repainting of wood, experts recommend to focus on the type of the previous coloring agents. Visually determine the kind previously applied paintwork quite easily - acrylate paint has an elastic leathery surface, the coating cracks is generally parallel to the grain of wood; oil paint different cellular surface and transverse cracking.

To select a paint tool has served the maximum time within the declared period of operation, it is necessary to properly prepare a wooden base to the staining procedure:

To start with, carefully inspect the enclosure for the presence of structural defects. Loose boards reinforce and rotten and twisted sure to replace with new ones. Removal sagging resin using ammonia solvent and a metal spatula. Cracks and potholes found on the surface of the timber, cover with soil and seal the filler.
Lots fence moldy or blue, treat with antifungal impregnation. Hats of nails and other metal fasteners cover the corrosion protection agent.
Then proceed to remove the remnants of the old paint. It's best to do it with a scraper and a brush with stiff bristles or sandblaster. chemical stripper for removing paint coatings can be used to treat hard to reach places.
Purified from previous paint fence thoroughly pass the sandpaper. Dust formed after grinding, rush clean water.

An important nuance! Prepared fence should be good. In rainy weather it is covered with a plastic film, while small ventilation holes are made in the canopy.

After the preparatory work carried out, the entire area of \u200b\u200bthe wooden fence is covered with basic primer and only a day after the priming, the finish paintwork is applied. In order for the process of painting the fence easily and quickly, we recommend paying attention to the following points:

to apply paints, choose a convenient tool - rollers, flat brushes with a thick bristle or sprayer;
for staining of hard-to-reach areas, use brushes with a telescopic handle;
if possible, squeeze the basic soil in color, close to the shade of the future coating;
in the process of work, periodically mix the paint with a clean wooden wand, otherwise the finishing color of the coating may be uneven;
paintings always apply from top to bottom and along the fibers of wood;
the most favorable for dyeing fences is considered cloudy, but warm and dry weather.
