How to stain a fence. Spraying a fence with an airless paint sprayer.

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

Begin by gathering all necessary tools and equipment. The video specifies using a 2.5-foot extension gun (spray gun extension) with a 310 tip for the sprayer. Ensure your sprayer is set to a low-pressure setting, such as on a Graco 440 model. You will also need a 3M hand masker loaded with 1.5-inch tape, a 2.5-gallon bucket for stain, a 2.5-inch angled sash brush, and a 4-inch nap roller for back-rolling and back-brushing.

Goal: Ensure all necessary equipment is on hand and ready for use.

Tools and materials

  • 1.5-inch Masking Tape — Securing masking paper and protecting edges
  • 2.5-gallon Bucket — Holding stain for brushing/rolling or for filling the sprayer
  • 2.5-inch Angled Sash Brush — Back-brushing runs, dry spots, and tight areas
  • 310 Tip — Controlling the spray pattern and flow rate of the stain
  • 3M Hand Masker 3M — Quickly applying masking paper and tape
  • 4-inch Nap Roller — Back-rolling fence tops and posts for even coverage
  • Airless Paint Sprayer Graco 440 — Applying stain to the fence at low pressure
  • Spray Gun Extension — Extending the reach of the spray gun for fence staining

off. We've got a three 2 and 1/2 ft extension gun extension. We're using a 310 tip and we're using pretty low pressure on a 440 that's set up around the corner. We've um in this task, we've got a 3M hand masker with inch and a half tape, and we've used that. We've got the fence where it dead ends into a stucco house right here. And we've masked two rows of um uh masking around the house so we don't get overspray on the house. And if you're um uncomfortable or have little experience spraying, you probably want to put at least three rows of masking there so you don't get overspray on the house. And we've got cardboard shields down here. There's rock around here. We're going to try to minimize the cardboard um or the overspray on the rocks and the cardboard shields help do that. We also use the cardboard shields to minimize the overspray over the top. We've got uh a 2 and 12 gallon bucket with uh 2 and 1/2 in angled sash brush and a 4 in nap that
