Have a 4 year old gazebo that has posts and trim that need paintH

Is the gazebo made out of metal or wood?

Yes, sand off the chipping paint

Hi! The better prep you do, the better it will last. Power wash, dry thoroughly and then sand and scrape. Also make any needed repairs. Good luck!

Only if you have peeling do you have to sand. If not, clean with TSP and start the process.

Hello. Is your gazebo structure metal? I ended up refurbishing a metal mesh table set and sanded primed and painted it. He results were better than the new ones seen at big box hardware stores. Hope you find the solution to refurbish your gazebo to your satisfaction.

We have a gazebo with wooden legs and a metal top (repurposed a BUD - big ugly dish.

I use a semi gloss on the wooden posts and a gloss rustoleum on the top or roof. But always sand first. The better the surface for accepting fresh paint the better the final product.

I would rent a sand blaster to save yourself sometime, that will get every last bit of old paint that's needs to go before repainting.

Sand first to smooth out the posts and trim. Make sure you use an exterior paint

I would sand if there are any rough areas, otherwise you could do a light sand before painting.

Sand it first to get the best finish.

I would only sand we’re the paint is chipping of then prime it and paint make shure to use the correct paint for out side

Yes, sand and remove any loose old paint. Make sure it is dry then use a Exterior paint

Is it wood or metal? Is it already painted? If so, you’ll need to clean off any chipped or peeling paint first. If it’s unpainted, you can seal, stain, or paint depending on its construction.

If really necessary, you can sand it down to have a better finish.

Yes, sand off as much of the loose paint as possible and then paint.
