When painting a fence, poles or wall of a house on the street (especially in windy weather), dust, debris and foreign objects often get into the paint tray. However, this problem can be solved by using a tube to connect the roller and the sealed container with paint or varnish with each other. In addition, you do not have to bend down every time you need another "portion" of paint.
For this homemade product you will need a plastic container (in this case, a 0.5 liter bottle with a wide neck), two metal washers, bolts with wing or ordinary nuts, as well as a paint roller and a copper or brass tube.
The main stages of work
In the washers, it is necessary to drill two holes at the edges for fastening to the cover, while the central hole will be used for the tube. In the lid of a plastic bottle, we drill three through holes. Then we insert a copper or brass tube bent like a roller handle into the lid and fasten the washers on both sides, tightening them with bolts and nuts.
We put the roller on the tube and drill holes in three places. The place of the “insertion" of the tube into the cover is additionally better lubricated with sealant. Well, then everything is simple - we pour varnish or paint into the bottle, twist the cap with the tube, put a roller on it, after which you can start painting the surface of the wall or fence.
