How to paint garden fence in seconds easily without a paintbrush

Jul 27, 2023Jul 27, 2023

While most people use brushes to paint their garden fences, one man took to TikTok to insist that there is a much more effective way to do it instead.

Known as @reno_at_95 on TikTok, the man posted a video of him painting his garden fence using a sponge.

He demonstrated by showing how a brush distributed the paint, before doing the same thing with a sponge.

The video showed that the latter method (the sponge) resulted in a much faster approach than if the man has used a bush.

The TikToker captioned the video “Fence painters out there - use a sponge not a brush! You can thank me later”.

Not only does this method speed up the task of painting a fence, but it also means that households no longer have to spend a long time trying to remove paint from the bristles of their brushes.

Taking to the comments section, people were loving this hack and many had even decided to put it to the test.

@mrsfpringles said: “I always use a sponge now. It works so fast. @jamorobo3 replied: “Mind officially blown! That's game-changing.”

@sophiee276 commented: “This is incredible. I’ve just tested it out and it takes seconds to paint the fence now.”

@70lollipos replied: “I used a sponge that you wash cars with to paint my patio and doorstep - so much easier and coverage was better.”

@gemchik2 admitted: “Wish I knew this before I painted my 2000ft fence, okay slight exaggeration but it’s a big fence.”

But others insisted the man was missing a trick by not using a sprayer to paint his fence.

@walkbktome claimed: “Sponge is a half-decent way, better than a brush, but a spray gun wins all day long. I did a 35ft fence in less than two hours, with two coats.”

@stevenkolle wrote: “Get a paint sprayer. It will be done in like 10 minutes.” @jamesbainbridge10 added: “Think you'll find a paint sprayer that is for fences a lot better, easier and faster.”
