A smart DIY whizz has shared their top tip for getting your garden fence looking tip top in no time at all, all thanks to a "game changer" £15 buy.

In a post shared via Instagram, the DIY fan, who is currently turning an 1877 Victorian property into their home, shared how they were able to give four fence panels a fresh lick of paint in just 15 minutes.

The purchase in question is a Dekton paint pad, which you can pick up from your local B&Q store for £14.99. According to this keen DIYer, the paint pad "holds a huge amount of paint", meaning you'll "get excellent coverage [...] without having to keep going back to your tub".

The houseproud individual, who goes by the username @lifeat_greenacres, added that the tool, which is "washable and reusable", offers "great precision for all those hard-to-reach areas that a sprayer wouldn't get"

Praising the product, they advised followers: "If you're thinking about painting your fence this summer you need this tool from B&Q. Holds so much paint and is great for getting into corners you normally couldn't reach with a fence brush.

"Saves so much time and at just over £10 it's a game-changer."

Although they'd had the versatile tool for years, they'd never before thought to use it to paint the fence, and now say they won't go back to their old method.
