If an individual will be selling their home and property, but the wooden fence surrounding them has a couple small holes in its surface, filling the wood can be completed with the following steps. Afterward, a fresh coat of paint and sealer will improve the fence’s appearance and will protect the wood from damage.

Cleaning And Repairing Wood
A wood cleaning agent can be diluted in a bucket of water. A hand held scrub brush should be moved back and forth over stained surfaces. After rinsing wood with a water hose, a tube of wood putty should be inserted in a caulk gun. When wood is dry, putty should be used to fill holes in a fence’s surface. A putty knife can be used to remove excess putty from both sides of a fence. Putty will require several hours to dry. If wood feels uneven after putty has dried, a hand sander should be moved over repaired areas to eliminate bumpy surfaces.
Adding Paint And Sealer
Masking tape and drop cloths can be used to cover portions of the fence and ground that an individual does not want exposed to paint. Paint that has been stirred should be poured into a paint gun’s reservoir. Before using a paint gun, a face mask should be worn to prevent breathing in strong fumes that could be harmful. Paint should be sprayed evenly across both sides of a fence. After an initial coat of paint has dried, a fence should be inspected to determine if the second coat of paint is needed.
Wood sealer should be stirred for a couple minutes before pouring it into a paint tray. A paint roller that is attached to a handle or a standard paintbrush can be used to apply sealer to wood. After sealer has dried thoroughly, drop cloths and strips of tape can be removed. Precision Fence LLC or a similar company offers fencing supplies that will assist with keeping a fence maintained.
