Concrete fences have many advantages, it is difficult to find something more suitable in terms of strength and reliability. True, lifting equipment is required for their installation, but it doesn’t take much time. Of great importance is the appearance of fences and although painting concrete fences, the process is not complicated, but there are some nuances to which you should pay attention.
First thing to do is prepare fence. Clean the surface as much as possible. Better yet, wash thoroughly using a hose and brush. Before painting, prepare a tool, spray gun or roller, brushes, but most importantly, choose the right color and the paint itself. The color is usually chosen for something, for example, for the color of the roof, if the fence is decorated for brickwork, then it is understandable as the color of the brick. The choice, of course, is an individual matter, but there are generally accepted rules, if for example a multi-colored fence is planned, then a dark tone is applied from below, and lighter tones at the top of the fence.
Too bright colors on a concrete fence can be beautiful, but not practical. Moderate pastel colors will look more harmonious. If a flower bed is broken along the fence, then the green fence will look very good.
So that the paint adheres well to the surface, and in order to smooth out all the irregularities, it is better to prime the fence. In the store you can buy special primers for concrete, today there is a very good choice. When painting the fence, use a trolley, so it will be more convenient for you to move along the fence. You need to start work from the top of the fence, then drops of paint will not spoil the painted surface below. You should have some small brushes to paint hard to reach areas of the fence. It is advisable to apply at least two layers, only the second should be applied after the first has completely dried, then all insufficiently stained spots will be clearly visible.
