Stopping Airless Sprayer Overspray | Eliminate Paint Over Spray

What happens here

Begin by covering sensitive ground areas such as concrete patios or wood decks with drop cloths. If painting around patio furniture, either move it approximately 15 yards (45 feet) away from the house or cover it completely with large plastic sheeting, such as 9x400 plastic, to prevent overspray. While experienced painters might omit drop cloths on concrete, they are crucial for wood decks or areas with furniture.

Goal: Prevent overspray on ground surfaces and outdoor furniture.
