Can I paint over green algae on a fence?

Yes, you can paint a Trex fence to cover up unsightly algae stains. It is wise to remove organic mass like algae prior to painting it. Usually, hosing off and scrubbing the fence with soapy water and a soft-bristle brush will remove most or all of the growth. It is also a good idea to do a paint test on a small area of your fence after you clean it to make sure you get the results you like.
