What tips can you provide on spray staining a fence?

Answer by  Amanda65 (1220)

Spraying on a windy day isn't recommended, because the stain can spray back on you or on other parts of your yard. Make sure that you cover nearby items, so if the spray gets on there it will not stain it too, including brick, sidewalks, driveways, etc. It's better to be safe than sorry when it comes to paint.

If you have plants next to your fence, cover them before you begin spraying, perhaps leaning them gently away from the fence with twine to give yourself room to spray. You will need a calm day to spray, as the wind can carry the tiny droplets to unwanted surfaces.

Although spraying is a great idea, you are right about windy days. Even a slight breeze will make the spray backfire. You need to wear a mask over your nose and mouth and cover all of your body. It take longer by brush but it's safer.
