As the days lengthen and the weather starts to improve, painting the fences shoots to the top of homeowners’ to-do lists. Maintaining the wooden fences in gardens is a yearly task after they’ve been battered by the winter weather – and it’s essential they are repainted to keep them in good order.
It can be a task to dread, especially if you have lots of fencing to tackle. Painting it with a paintbrush is a laborious job which can take days and days, eating into time where you could be enjoying the improved weather.
That’s where paint sprayers come in. These nifty gadgets are purpose-made to make short work of painting fencing, decking and even garden furniture quickly.

And over on Amazon, WAGNER Fence & Decking Paint Sprayer is available at a reduced price of £64.99 just in time for spring. It’s been slashed from £94.49 which is an impressive 31 per cent saving.
The WAGNER Paint Sprayer is just the job if you’re looking for a multi-purpose bit of kit that can tackle various painting tasks around the garden. It states it can cover 5 metres squared in just nine minutes and comes with a 1.8 metre hose so you can move around with ease.
And it doesn’t require specialist sprayable paint either. Just use standard solvent or water based fence paint, oil, stain, varnish, wood preservatives and treatment.
The detachable gun means you can quickly and easily change attachment, the paint, refill or clean the gun. There is also a three-way adjustable paint jet which can be adapted to suit the object you are painting.
And buyers are delighted with the gadget. It boasts a 4.5 rating on Amazon, where it has had over 3,000 five-star reviews. It has also been bought more than 500 times in the last month.
One happy customer raved: “This sprayer turned what would have been a full weekend of work into just a few hours. It’s incredibly easy to use—even for someone like me who’s not exactly a DIY expert. The paint goes on smoothly, with an even coat that covers beautifully, and it’s easy to adjust the spray settings for different surfaces.”
Another agreed saying: “This thing is exceptional for the cost. It sprays evenly, consistently, no clogging, very little spray excess (there was a light breeze), clean, effective coverage – it was just a joy to use!”
And a third reviewer said: “The sprayer provides a smooth and even finish, giving my fences, sheds, and other bits a nice neat finish. I’m physically disabled with chronic pain and it saves me from the tedious task of painting with a brush or roller. I can cover large areas in no time, whilst sitting down which helps preserve energy.”
However, one buyer noted it was difficult getting the paint into the sprayer and said: “A funnel should be provided as fence paint comes in big tubs and wagner paint container is quite small, paint has to be mixed thoroughly to thin the consistency and prevent clogging, then pour into the container , quite fiddly.”
If you’re looking for a paint sprayer with a lower budget, Amazon have the Electric Paint Sprayer by Jupitor on the site for £17.28. Alternatively, the vonhaus 800W Paint Sprayer Gun is reduced from £49.99 to £44.99, here.
