How to Paint a Arc Wooden Hammock Stand

1,Sand down rust spots and places with chipped paint. Use a large-grained sandpaper such as 100-grit to gently flake away loose pieces of paint and create a rough surface to hold the paint; then use a fine 220-grit paper to smooth the edges of problem areas.
2,Wrap any fabric or rope materials with painter’s tape to protect the materials while painting. Hammock materials are often strung throughwooden arc hammock stand structures, making painting the stand without ruining the appearance of the wooden arc hammock a difficult task without protective tape.
3,Prepare the paint for use according to the instructions and pry open the paint using a screwdriver. Pour the paint onto a disposable dinner plate to make it easy to maneuver around the arc hammock stand when painting.
4,Paint with a sponge-tipped brush. Use smooth, even brush strokes to apply the paint. An even coat of paint will not leave visible brush or bristle strokes when it dries.
5,Allow the paint to dry and inspect the cypress hammock standscarefully to ensure the paint is evenly applied. Allow the paint to dry for 24 hours before retouching spots as needed or applying a second coat.
6,Apply a protective coat of polyurethane over the new coat to protect the hammock stand from the elements as well as to maintain the color of the paint.
