This is Chris from BNK Painting. In this video, we're going to show you how to power wash a fence to get it ready to uh stain the fence. This is a part two video. We'll show you in this video how to actually do the power washing portion. Uh or this is part one. In part two, we'll actually show you how to do the staining portion. Here we're going to be using uh power wash this fence. We got a DeWalt power washer. It's 4200 PSI, 4 gallons a minute. You definitely want a power washer that's going to have enough PSI that's actually going to strip uh the dead wood and the grain and off the fence and any type of old stain that's on the fence to get it to prep properly to actually stain it. In this v uh video, we're actually using a brass rotating nozzle that can actually handle 4200 PSI. It's important to have a hose handle and um nozzle that will actually um actually handle the PSI of the power washer you're using. A power washer that has only a couple thousand PSI wouldn't be enough to actually strip the dead wood off the fans. So, we got a large power washer. We've got the rotating brass nozzle. And um we're going to show you how to do the fence now. And in the fence, what we're actually going to be doing, we're going to be power washing. And you want to actually go from picket to pick it. You never want to go across the fence cuz if you go across the fence, across the grain, you'll actually see those marks when you stain it regardless how much stain you put on. So, we do pick it to pick it and then we're going to go these um parts of the go crossways. So, we'll go crossways um the last portion um after we do the picket. So, we'll show you how to do this this panel right here real quick. Going to get our power washer, put it to on. Uh we've already warmed it up so we don't need to choke it. Um and getting ready to You can see in power washing that panel, I get really close and go really slow to actually strip off, you know, some of the wood um the old wood grade wood on the fence. You don't want to get too close that you actually damage the fence itself. But you got to get close up close enough and go slow enough to strip the wood. And then once I was done with the panel, you got to stand back and just rinse it off. But if and I was going crossways rinsing it off, but I was standing back pretty far, so I wasn't going to make any cross marks in the panel. That's how you do the power washing to get your fence prepped and ready
