Legion Paint Brush 75mm (3 Inch) T536 – Wide Brush for Walls, Fences, Decks and Stains

Legion 75mm (3 Inch) Paint Brush for Larger Surfaces

The Legion T536 Paint Brush is a 75mm (3 inch) wide flat brush with 62mm long bristles and an overall length of 23.3cm. Its width and bristle length let it carry plenty of paint or stain per dip, so it covers bigger areas such as fences, decks, weatherboards, sheds, doors and walls faster than a narrow brush. It suits water based and oil based paints as well as timber stains, for both indoor and outdoor work.

Cover More Ground with Each Stroke

When the job is a timber fence, a run of weatherboards or a large door, a wider brush makes a real difference. Each stroke lays down a broader band of paint, so you finish sooner and with fewer overlapping brush marks. The 62mm bristles hold a generous load, which means less time going back to the tin and a more even coat across the surface.

Built for Fences, Decks and Outdoor Timber

Timber stains and oils are usually brushed on along the grain in long strokes, and a 3 inch brush is the classic size for this. It suits fence palings, deck boards, pergolas, garden furniture, sleepers and garden edging, where you want to work stain into the surface and keep a wet edge as you go.

Choosing Between Brush Sizes

A 75mm brush is best for large flat areas and boards. For trims, window frames and cutting in edges, a narrower brush such as a 50mm or 63.5mm gives more control. Many painters keep one wide brush for coverage and one narrower brush for detail, which covers almost every DIY painting job.

Tips for Painting Large Areas

Start by dampening the brush, with water for water based paint or with mineral turps for oil based products, then remove the excess. Pour some paint or stain into a separate container or bucket, as a wide brush is awkward to load from a small tin. Work on two or three boards at a time from end to end, keeping a wet edge so the finish dries evenly without lap marks. Avoid painting or staining in direct midday sun or on very hot timber, as the coating can dry too quickly and leave brush marks. Clean the brush thoroughly after use, reshape the bristles and let it dry before storing.
