What happens here

Wearing a respirator and gloves for safety, use the airless sprayer with a gun extension to apply stain to the fence panels. While spraying, use the cardboard shield holder to hold a cardboard shield against the bottom of the fence, as close as possible to the ground, to prevent overspray from landing on the dirt or grass. A small amount of stain on the ground is acceptable as it will eventually wash away with rain or sprinklers. After spraying a section, immediately follow with a brush to back-brush the stain into the wood.

Goal: Apply stain to fence panels while protecting the ground from overspray.

Hide

out so we're gonna keep working on these fence panels and so I'm gonna show you how I guard everything with my cardboard shield I'll go around the bottom real quick and I'll shield it as close as I can a little bits gonna get on the dirt and a little bits okay we just don't want to make a big mess with that I mean it's all gonna go away with the next rinse of the sprinklers or rain up top what we're gonna do is we're gonna take the shield we're gonna stick it behind but you don't want to touch the backside of the the fence with the cardboard shield or you're gonna get all the stain that's on there on the back of your fence so you just hold it about an inch or two away and try to keep it steady as you move across so here we go always wear your respirator it's really important if you go against the grain while you're working on a fence like this we got to do this you didn't up stain on those boards but you got to make sure if you're gonna do that that you backed rocks right behind it so you don't have lap marks sort of built up going the other way you'll end up seeing those after it all dry
