Protecting new timber palings
Greetings to all,
I have recently had new palings placed around the bottom of my high set house and they need painting to protect them from weathering. does anyone have useful suggestions as to what can be used to paint(brush or spray) these palings in an economical manner to protect them.
Thanks in advance.

Any idea what sort of timber? If they are treated pine fence palings they will be very wet and need time to dry before any coating is applied.
Are you looking for a clear coating, stain or paint?

Ideally the front of the batons and back of the palings should have been at least under coated before fixing. Otherwise you are likely to get wood stain over your nicely painted palings next time it rains.
Personally I would just buy a good brand exterior water based paint. May need an oil based undercoat to seal timber first depending on the colour of the paint.
But I am no expert and hate painting.
