I apologise to the other two answerers, but I have one of these and it is brilliant.
Make sure you get the correct liquid to use in it though. Use the decking spray for decking, use fence spray for the fence i.e., don't use the decking spray for the fence etc.

I have one of these sprayers and used properly they are great. I did all my fences and sheds in about a day, compared to the three days it took me with a brush last time. They are also a lot less painful on the arm and wrist than a brush. The key to using it, is to read the instructions get the proper cuprinol treatment not the normal stuff which is thinner. MOST importantly be careful of overspray, even on a calm day as with any spraying there will be drift which can cover walls, cars, you, the dog etc. Use a brush to cut in next to walls and if possible have someone next to you holding up an old sheet downwind of you to catch the drift while painting near to anything else.

I also have one of these which I bought over a year ago.
First of all they drip,it doesn't come out evenly. You need to put something down on the ground to protect it. On the ads you'll notice they have plenty of clear fencing to paint.
In reality you have bushes shrubs and plants to negotiate.
If you spray too high it goes over into your next-door-neighbour's back garden!
By the time you've messed about cleaning everything off at the end so you don't block the spray heads etc, you'll wish you never bothered and used a brush in the first place.
Cuprinol Sprayer for sale anybody?

I am a painter by profession and have sprayed many decks/fences etc....alot of the regular bug sprayers do not have solvent resistant o rings in them and soon melt/disfigure, thus making them inoperable..Home Depot sells one for about 18.00 that is called a "clorox 2 system" It is made with solvent resistant o rings etc and last a long time, they take the mineral spirits/turps/thinners to clean the product with without damaging the o rings and last forever..I have gone through hundreds of the others due to this..here are a couple of links concerning this..but do not buy online..for shipping etc ..Home depot has these as well..

There were so many woodworking plans with this collection and you will not believe this but there are over thousands plans in the one package deal. Go here https://tr.im/hStSd
This is really something to find that many all together. For someone like me who is just really starting to get involved with woodworking this was like letting me loose in a candy store and telling me I could have anything I wanted. That was my dream when I was a kid.

Don't waste your money. I got one last weekend - ended up painting 16 panels with a brush. Load of rubbish the dratted thing was.
