The Painter Quoted $1,800 for the Fence. This Was $139.99.
The BetterGardens™ Electric Paint Sprayer does the fence in one afternoon, the same way a painter does it: sprayed, not rolled. Cordless, two batteries in the box, and you keep the tool for every job after.
What a Painter Charges vs What This Costs
Do the maths on your own fence. A standard 25m paling fence is about 45m² a side.
Hire a painter
$900 to $2,250That’s $20 to $50 per m², one side of one fence, one time. Paint is usually on top.
- Wait for three quotes, then wait for a free Saturday in his diary

You Know You Can Do This Fence Yourself.
You’ve done it before. What’s changed is the roller: a whole weekend, streaks no matter how careful you are, and shoulders that complain for three days after. So the quote sits on the bench, and the fence stays grey. Here are 7 reasons thousands of Aussies binned the quote and did it themselves in an afternoon.
7 Reasons Aussies Chose the Sprayer Over the Quote
One Quote Pays for It 10 Times Over
At $139.99, this costs less than two hours of a painter’s time. And it doesn’t leave when the fence is done. The shed, the gate, the retaining wall, the outdoor setting - all covered, no new quote.
Buy once, paint everything
It’s the Same Way the Painter Does It
He’s not rolling your fence. He’s spraying it. That’s how one bloke does a whole side in an afternoon and still charges by the hour. A fine even mist floats paint into every grain and gap. No brush marks, no lap lines.
Sprayed, not rolled
No Cord, No Power Point, No Extension Lead
The back fence is 25 metres from the nearest power point. Doesn’t matter. Nothing to drag across the lawn, nothing to trip on, nothing dragged through wet paint. Pick it up and start at the far corner.
Total cordless freedom
Two Batteries, So It Never Stops Halfway
Halfway up the fence is where cheap sprayers quit. This one comes with two batteries: one in the gun, one on the charger. Swap in seconds and keep going until the fence is done, not until the battery is.
One always charged
The Fence Takes an Afternoon, Not the Weekend
A panel takes minutes. A whole side takes an afternoon. You’re not waiting for the painter’s free Saturday and you’re not giving up your own. Start after lunch, finished before the news.
Afternoon, not weekendEasy on Shoulders That Have Done Enough Rollers
No pressing, no dragging, no going over the same patch four times. It’s light enough to use one-handed and the motor does the work your shoulder used to. Keep doing your own jobs for another ten years.
Easy on the body
Rinse It Out, Then Do the Shed
Big 1000ml tank, a dial that goes from wide for fences to narrow for trim, and it takes water-based or oil-based paint. Clean-up is rinse the pot, run water through the gun, done. Then it goes back in the shed, ready for the next job the painter would have quoted.
Rinse and done

Common Questions
Won’t a painter do a better job than me?
A painter’s finish comes from spraying, not from magic hands. This lays paint on the same way: a fine, even mist. Practise on a scrap board for two minutes, keep the gun a hand-span from the timber, and your first panel will look like his.
Is it really cheaper once I buy the paint?
Yes. Most painter quotes are labour, with paint on top. You’re buying the paint either way. The sprayer replaces the labour line, which is the big one, and it’s still there for the next job.
What type of paint can I use?
Most water-based and oil-based paints and stains. Thicker paints may need a little thinning for the best flow. It takes a minute and the tin tells you how.
Will it clog with thick fence paint?
Use it as directed and no. Thin heavier paints slightly, and the adjustable nozzle keeps the flow even. Rinse it after each use and it stays clear job after job.
Will overspray end up on the neighbour’s side?
The adjustable pattern keeps the spray where you point it. Hold it a hand-span from the surface, pick a still day, and run a strip of masking film or a drop sheet along the fence line. That’s exactly what the painter does.
How long does the battery last?
Long enough that you won’t be the one stopping first, and you get two. Keep one on the charger while you use the other and swap in seconds.
Do I need experience with a sprayer?
No. Fill the container, set the dial, and spray. Most people get a clean result on their very first panel.
Is it hard to clean?
No. Rinse the container and run clean water through the gun straight after use. A few minutes, quicker than washing a roller and tray.
What’s included in the box?
The Electric Paint Sprayer, 2 rechargeable batteries and the 1000ml paint container. Everything you need to start the day it arrives.
What guarantee does it come with, and how fast is shipping?
