This spring I started a big project of totally overhauling my large backyard garden. It started out as just one large raised garden bed (the metal kind) and it's been growing and growing every year. More beds, mulch, edging, trellises, a gazebo and more. Now it's large and takes up the majority of the back yard. I love it, but it was a hodge podge of colors because it's been growing over several years. So this spring I set out to give the garden a makeover. I wanted to repaint the gazebo and paint all my garden beds (both wooden and metal) the same color, so there was some consistency. That's where this sprayer came in. This project was too much for a smaller hand held size paint sprayer. I'd be constantly stopping to open up the canister and add more paint. Not only did I have a lot of large items to paint, because they were going to be a pearl off-white color, it was going to take several coats to get everything looking nice and even. This paint sprayer was just the right size for the job. Compared to the cheaper hand help sprayers, this sprays much more evenly. I also have far less issues with dripping paint. The paint goes on so nicely and doesn't get thick or drippy. The hose is quite long, so I don't need to move the sprayer itself at all when I'm working. No heavy, weighed down sprayer in my hand making it hard on my hands and arms. If you have a large painting project, this will save you so much strain on your arms and time. It makes painting so much less difficult.
