The fence is the first gaze in the yard and, when well maintained, it represents the house for a long time. The natural oil -based fence is suitable for the landscape as a landscape, with plastic, by caring for the environment.
Choose a fence in the style and coloring of other buildings in the yard: a bio -based linen paint a rough fence in the farmhouse a tar -heard Roslag storage around the log house .

A new fence painting
If you build a new fence, it is advisable to handle the boards even before attaching them. When priming is done in loose boards, the topcoating is much easier in the fence, and the bare wood surface cannot be chilled as the wood lives.
The new wood surface is initially protected by Uula Home Protection , which can be applied to the surface, either by brushing or spraying, for example, with a manual garden spray.
Mold protection is a liquid substance that destroys mold and algae spores and prevents them from growing on a wooden surface. It dries in about a day, after which the wood surface can be painted.
Do I need to primer the fence?
The priming of the fence and its need depends on the material of the fence and its condition. However, bare wood surfaces should always be primed, but for the already painted real -painted, priming may be necessary if the old paint has cracked or has come off.
Priming can be done by thinning the top coat selected for the painting. Linseed oil paints are thinned to the primer by about 20 % with Uula Oil Paint thin.
Alternatively, under the oil paints, the newly drying Uula outsole paint can be used on a new previously untreated surface.

Water -borne cooking paint, or red soil, can be thinned with either Uula Home Protection or with water; For priming, the cooking paint is thinned in a ratio of 1: 1.
The adhesion of the cooking paint suffers from several thick layers and is therefore diluted very thin for priming and the topcoating is done in a single painting. The cooking paint can also be painted in a single draw without priming.
Surface treatment agents such as wood oil and Roslag mahogany do not require any actual primer, but the surface is usually treated twice . Roslag's mahogany can be applied to "wet wet" before the first layer dries or the second treatment is done when the tar it contains is certainly absorbed from all surfaces. This may take several weeks.
Choose two brushes for the fence's topcoat
about 3 days in good weather , and the primer painting can be painted in a day, as well as wood oil. When the primer dries, the fence can be assembled in place and the surface painted with an unspoiled paint.
It is a good idea to get two brushes for painting the fence: a brush for paint on a board, and smaller for painting the narrow spaces and corners of the brush . Also, a 45 degree radiator brush can be useful when painting a fence.
If desired, the paint can be lifted to the surface with a spray, but the sprayed paint is leveled and applied to the surface with a brush. Mechanical brushing or rubbing helps the absorption and infection of oil paints.
Old fence maintenance starts with scraper and washing brush
When servicing the old fence, all poorly attached paint is removed with a paintbrush, the barely grayed and lint surfaces, and the surfaces are washed either with Uula paint or, if necessary, with Uula mold and brush, and rinsed with clean water.
For example, the fence painted with a cooking paint is dry brushing, for example, with a root brush so that all dusting paints are removed and the surface is washed. On the dusty surface, the paint does not stick to, but starts to shake off.
Surfaces treated with audible surface treatment agents such as wood oil or roslag mahogany are often enough to wash and mold protection before painting.
Fence maintenance painting
A mold protection is applied to the dried surface of the fence, which is allowed to dry for 24 hours. When painting with oil paint, wood -clean surfaces are painted with 20% thinned paint and allowed to dry for 3 days.
After brushing, washing and mold protection, the old cooking paint requires nothing more than a one -time painting with an un thinning paint and this is how the fence is ready!
With Uula Pellavainen oil paint and petroleum oil paint, the topcoat is made with a rich paint. The linseed oil paint, on the other hand, is painted in two thin layers of tight wood with a brushing. However, if the old paint surface is in good condition, one unspoiled painting is enough.
When is the best time to paint the fence?
Early summer is the best time for all kinds of exterior painting, but the time to paint the fence also depends some on the type of paint selected. The cooking paint can be painted early in the spring and late autumn, as long as the wood surfaces are dry and the temperature is on the plus side around the clock.
The tar contained in the Roslag mahogany is slowly absorbed in shady places and when the weather is cool, so you should not leave it late in the fall. Oil paints require a minimum temperature of +10 degrees and less than 80% relative humidity .
All paints need a dry wood surface. If the painting is in late summer, it is advisable to schedule the painting in the middle of the day, when the moisture of the morning has evaporated and the moisture of the evening has not yet landed.
