Painting your fence is a great way to show off your personality in Washington D.C.
In a town like Washington, D.C. residents do not have a lot of opportunity to show off their personalities. So why not take something plain and turn it into an amazing art project? Painting your older fence can be a great way to give your house a new lease on life. If you are looking for a cheaper alternative to buying a new fence or if you just want a new look to the fence, it might be time to apply a little liquid love to it with some colorful paint. A new trend seems to be painting your fence in unusual colors like barn red or all seven colors of the rainbow. Some artistic people are even using these fences to paint murals like beaches and dragons. This is a unique way to give off tons of personality without a permanent change. But where do you begin?
Begin Here
Give your fence a thorough inspection before deciding to paint it. If it is not in good repair, replace the planks that are broken. One of the first steps you are going to want to do is organize some help. Unless you are Tom Sawyer and planning to trick people into free labor, think about offering food or drinks in return. Before help arrives, cut and trim any growth around your fence so it can be painted. Wash it down with a strong hose spray or a power washer to remove old paint or dirt. If you have mildew or mold, mix a solution of 1 part bleach and 1 part water to remove the fungi. Tape all metal on the fence and place a drop cloth under it to prevent painting your grass with rainbow stripes. It is also important to have an imagination. Don’t think you have to do a traditional stain or a plain color, think outside the box and consider all of the possibilities.
