What happens here

To prevent overspray on plants and shrubs located near the house, tie them back with 9x400 plastic sheeting. This technique pulls the plants away from the wall, creating a clear space for painting and preventing paint from coating the foliage. The plastic used can often be reused for covering furniture or other items.

Goal: Prevent paint overspray on delicate plants and shrubs.

And once you um untie this, the plastic is still usable to cover say furniture and stuff, but it's really cheap and you could just throw it away cuz it doesn't cost a whole lot. It's better than getting overspray on the plants. But we just tie it back. You can cover it up with a drop cloth if you want um to give you that added measure, but if you're using the proper tip, the proper pressure, you're not going to get any fallout on these plants. And we've already painted around here and these plants don't have any overspray or fallout on it because we're using the proper methods to control overspray.
