My ‘back roll’ technique makes painting fences a breeze - the key is to put on loads MORE than you think

A DIY fan has shared his top tip for painting a fence but some people have concerns about his intensive methods.

The tip specifically applies to when you are spray painting your fence.

This is by far the easiest way to paint your garden fence as it’s much easier on your back.

Speaking of backs, this DIY fan says he uses the ‘back roll' technique.

And before you get any crazy ideas, no this doesn't mean rubbing or rolling your back on your fence.

Nicholas Keigher also known as the @theaussiepainter online shared his tip in a TikTok video.

He said: “DIY painting tip - when spraying fences don’t be afraid to put a good amount of paint on and always back roll!”

‘Back rolling’ simply means going back over an area you have painted with a second coat.

The idea behind this method is completely covering your fence with paint.

This way you're much less likely to see gaps in the fence where the paint has missed spots.
