I transformed my decade-old fence in 15 seconds using a 2p hack – it was so easy… but not everyone is happy
A DAD has divided opinion after sharing the 2p hack he used to transform his decade-old fence in just 15 seconds.
Mason wanted to give the wooden fence, which had been getting mouldy in his back garden, a new lease of life.
But instead of shelling out for paint, or getting a new fence, he decided to have a go at giving it a glow up himself.
To do so he mixed bleach and water, before adding it into a spray hose that he used to douse the fence.
“This fence is over 10 years old,” he began his video on TikTok.
“Watch as it turns to looking brand new in seconds.”
“You can see it working,” Mason said delightedly.
“Look at that! Oh my gosh!
“And this fence is OLD.”
He wrote over the top of the video: “Just mix bleach with water and you’ve got a whole new fence.”
But his method didn’t get the seal of approval from everyone in the comments section.
In fact, quite a few people slammed Mason for using bleach for the job.
“Or ya know, 30 second cleaner product that won’t kill all the grass etc,” one wrote.
“You’re just bleaching the mould it will be back,” another sighed.
“Probably not great for the grass.”
“But what about your plants?!” a third commented.
While someone else said: “No sir never bleach. Use degreaser to wash. use 2500 psi max to wash. use ‘wood brightener’ to neutralize the degreaser and then rinse with water hose.”
“What about your neighbour’s side?” another asked.
“I would think they will have bleach streaks down their side.”
To which Mason replied: “We own both sides of this fence, but it actually didn’t streak through the other side.”
“It looked 10 times better before,” someone else raged.
But others were more impressed by the hack, and even said they were going to try it themselves.
“That’s crazy! I thought the colour was because of the sun and irreversible,” one wrote.
“It went from the upside down to the actual world lmao,” another laughed.
“I love it,” a third praised.
“We have a brand new fence around our back yard that we had put in besides one side we share with our neighbour.
“I’ll have to try it!”
