Before and After: Pressure Washing the Fence
This weeks “Before and After” comes to you from my neighbors back yard. This is the same friend with the large stump that needed to be removed. He’s working hard to transform his backyard and part of that is addressing the dingy looking fence.
The fence looks to be about 20+ years old and has taken that grayish tinge. The fence-posts have been set in concrete which makes removing the fence that much harder. An easier (and cheaper) option was to use a pressure washer to remove the dirt, mold and years added by weather.
He borrowed Fred’s pressure washer. It’s a Troy Bilt, gas powered, pressure washer
Check out the difference! Next he will clean up any rough spots, seal and stain.
And now it’s your turn! Link in your “Before and After” post and leave a comment below. Thanks.

Wow, that’s amazing. I didn’t even realize you could do that to a wood fence. It looks brand new!

I’m regretting that I didn’t take straight before and after pictures last year of some wood picnic table hand-me-downs. They turned out amazing too - I had know idea before that that you could take the grey out of wood with a power washer - but you absolutely can.

I was pretty impressed with how it turned out too

Not only do I love how your fence turned out, I love your entire blog! It’s great to know there’s so many do-it-yourselfers out there with us.
