Do you recommend painting the inside of a fence?




I have a small patio and think about painting my fence on the inside so I can put some colorful decor up. Is this a good idea?

Sure! Consider an opaque stain for this - it looks like paint but holds up so much better outdoors. :)
Here is a you tube video that explains everything you need and how it should be done. Looks like a great project:

Hello. I would suggest just to think about the paint product or stain product you might consider using.
We are very unhappy with the product we chose to use on our large deck and we used a exterior wood product that was labeled-supposed to last seven years. It was a solid paint stain. It is not performing with our outdoor exposure requires application every couple years.
Using a wood tone product might be better than a solid stain in as far as you won’t see the weathering chipping and flaking. We certainly regret not using the Woodtones clear products even though they are only our label to last a couple years at least their appearance in a more pleasing way.
I think that sounds really fun, and here's a helpful video about how to paint your fence that might help - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GK_74O_w3Dc

Hello,
Yes if you want a job for life, or you could use fence stain and preserver - comes in colours for choice.......
I love the idea. However, once you paint it you will have more upkeep. You could go with decor only if you don’t want to paint down the line. For a bit more color, hang an indoor outdoor rug on the fence as a backdrop.
Is there a reason why you can't paint both inside and outside to add some color?
Here's some creative ideas for you:

I would use a good paint for outdoor funiture
Thank you I’m going to go with that idea and then paint some fun scene on the fence portion that faces into the condo. I think it will be fun and pretty

Yes you can do that, but will need to refresh every couple of years.
Why not? If the color makes you happy go for it. Plus a coat of paint might even help the wood last a little longer. We all need a splash of color in our lives.
