Setting up your fence is only half the job.
After your fence is set up, you should also paint it. Painting your fence can
make your home and surrounding more aesthetically pleasing; also, the paint
adds an additional layer of protection to your fence against environmental
erosion and insects. Painting your fence will improve durability and also add
value to the fence, and is definitely a worthwhile long-term investment.
First off, prior to selecting a color for
your fence, you should understand the policies and regulations of your
neighborhood. Check to see if you are restricted to having certain colors in
your neighborhood. In addition, speaking to your neighbors about the paint job
and coming to an agreement could minimize any unwanted dispute after the paint
job.
You may also need to decide on the type of
paint you want to use on your fence. Depending on the material your fence is
built out of, you will need to consider the type of paint to use. For example, there
are 3 types of paint we recommend for concrete fences: Acrylic, Epoxy, and
Latex. For more information on concrete fence paint types visit: www.ehow.com/info_12039316_kind-paint-use-concrete-fence.html.
If the natural color of concrete is good enough for you, consider using an
Acrysheen coating sealant. Acrysheen can bring out the concrete definition and
shading, as well as adding a protective layer to your fence.

Lastly, choose a color that complements
your surroundings, which includes your home, yard, and even your neighborhood. Your
yard could be a reference to determine which colors your fence should be. You
could also go for a color that matches your home or one that complements your
home style. For example, “A traditional cottage or Colonial might look best
surrounded by a fence painted a crisp, clean white, while a rustic ranch- or
farm-style home might be complemented by an oak stain on the surrounding fence”
(homeguides.sfgate.com, 2014).
If you are still unsure of which colors to
choose, we recommend talking to a home-store expert to find the type of paint
you need for your fence.
