IF your outdoor decking is in desperate need of a spruce up but you lack the time and effort, this might be just the thing you need.
A DIY fanatic as revealed a clever painting hack which will help you to paint the entire deck in minutes - and it's blowing people's minds.
Typically, a paint brush or roller would be used to apply the paint to each timber plank - but it's no secret this could often take hours.
TikTok user known as Dad Dancer shared the hack on his account and demonstrated using an ordinary house brush
In the clip, which has since been viewed more than seven million times, he dipped the brush into the tray filled with grey paint before applying it straight to the timber decking.
He then moved the broom back and forth at lightning speed until he completely covered the surface area in a fresh coat of grey paint.
Blown away by the tip, one person asked to see the finished result which Dad Dancer shared in a follow up clip.
He revealed that each coat took him just 15 minutes and after "two quick coats" the entire thing job was done.
"That's what it looks like when it's finished. Two quick coats, 15 minutes each coat," he revealed.
"The brush I used is just a normal sweeping brush but you have to make sure it's got nice soft bristles."
People loved the "genius" idea with many admitting they'd never thought it.
"OH MY GOD you gave me the best idea for my decking, thanks," one person wrote in the comments.
"What! Amazing," exclaimed another.
Meanwhile, another gushed: "What! I'm so glad I saw this before painting my decking . GENIUS!"
