Blooming Good Tips For Spring Garden DIY

Prepare for your Spring garden DIY projects

The sun is out, you’re feeling inspired and ready to start gardening and giving your outside living space a facelift. Spring garden DIY projects are made easy with TimBuild Stellenbosch. Basic pine picket fencing or trellis can be transformed into beautiful eye catching focus points. But to ensure the best results, make sure that your project stands the test of time.

When using pine outdoors there are different options to coat and protect the wood, from water-based varnishes and sealants to oil-based enamel coatings. Wood stains are absorbed by the wood and mimic the colour of a particular species of wood. Varnish is a clear, transparent coating that lies on top of the wood. Varnish is durable and hard and comes in a variety of sheens – from matte to glossy.

With proper preparation there is no reason why you cannot paint exterior timber. A splash of colour instantly transforms a living space and creates the opportunity to add a very personal touch to your project. When using an oil-based paint outdoors, apply the correct wood primer and allow it to dry, apply a universal undercoat and then two coats of your top coat paint that completely cover all surfaces of the wood.
