Mrs has been after me to get the fence painted for some time.
Initial 2 panels took 3 hours with brush and I was giving up the will to live.
Didn't want to use a sprayer lest it causes paint spray into neighbours garden.
Then it struck me let's use a 9 inch paint roller.
Progress has been fast.
Also very little paint being used.
Not sure if it needs a second coat
There is a visible difference between painted and unpainted bits
Also some paint has dripped on to composite decking hoping this will wash off with pressure washer.
Also neighbours creepers and our plants coming in the way is a headache. Next time I'll paint the fence as soon as I move in if moving into a new build.
What have you all been up to today?

Finally painted our fence last year in a similar colour to yours after a year of getting hassle from the Mrs.

Together we painted 13 standard paint panels in a day - I have no idea how but we just persisted until it was done!

We got the one coat stuff but I'd assume a second will last longer.

Today we went to design our new kitchen at 9am - for the third time with a supplier that our selected fitter prefers to use.

Hopefully save some cash in the whole project.

Thanks. Good luck with your kitchen project.
the last time I painted the fence in our previous new build house was in 2012 and it was much easier as I was 34 then it seems much harder now

I feel your pain . I did the fences and decking last week. As a matter of fact I got slightly carried away with the pressure washer
