Brushing takes a while but should make less mess.
Never tried spraying, though that would probably work really well if you could remove the fence panel and paint it somewhere 'safe'.
Like on a lawn or big tarp  |

Use a jumbo sponge as it gets into all the nooks and crannies. You'll be amazed how quick you can paint with minimal mess. Just wear gloves though and you'll be sorted |

Spray is awful, makes a right mess and doesn't really last.
Brush is the only way and you get a good finish.
Took me 2 days last year to do 30m both sides with 2 coats. Looks good though. |

Saw that gardening makeover programme with whatshername from years ago and 2 young Male designers . Anyway, this guy had a spray gun thing and did huge lengths of fences in literally minutes. Never seen anything like it. |

Ex professional, now retired painter decorator here.
First make sure you've got the loose stain and green stuff off. Then using a sprayer and the correct sprays ble stain. Spray it hand pumped sprayers are available from many outlets from abou£15 ( name available on request.) And look out for deals on the stain itself and the trick is to keep the pressure up! More advice on request directly. On a decent weather drying day you should do any size fence in a day easily!
Best of luck! |

No quick way to do the job cleanly and quickly.
Keep plenty of paint on the brush. Up and down stroke's with the grain. |
