Painting Your Patio

Painting your patio can be fun, you first need to determine what colors you are going to use. When choosing the colors for your area you will want them to match the color of your house. In addition, you will want a stain finish for the deck itself to bring out the color of the wood.

Therefore, you will need to measure your deck before buying these colors. In addition, you will need some items to paint your patio, for instance you will need a, paint pan, a roller, paintbrush and the paint. Before you even start to paint, you need to make sure your surface is, swept off thoroughly. Also clean the patio with a soap and water to clean off any spills or stuck on matter. This way there is nothing that will keep the sealant from being, applied to your patio properly.

If your patio is made of concrete then you should be ready to paint it. If it is made of wood then you may also need to use a sander to smooth out any rough spots. Once the patio is ready, you can use the roller to apply the paint to the larger portion of the surface. Then you can use the brush to touch up the hard to reach places and the ends or edges of the surfaces.

If you have posts, standing in the middle or at the ends of the patio these can be different colors. You may choose to paint these a lighter or a darker color to make them stand out and look more attractive. However, you can still make these colors match your home or even your patio furniture if you like. This is really up to the individual as to what colors he or she prefers.

You may need to completely, cover the entire patio two or three times to ensure that the job is, done properly. You do not want any blank or lighter colored spots on your patio. The reason is this is where you and your family and friends will spend a great deal of time during the summer. You want your patio to look great, you also what it to be a pleasant place to just hang out and relax.

You will want to paint the patio when you will not be using it for a few days so there will be no traffic on it, and the paint will dry completely before you do use the patio again.
