Canal Turn: Made of hawthorn stakes covered in Norway spruce, it gets its name from the fact that there is a canal in front of the horses when they land. To avoid it, they must turn a full 90 degrees when they touch down.

I recommend looking for a fence sprayer with a sizeable reservoir capacity of at least 1000ml . You’ll see that most of the sprayers featured below fit this specification. It’s also worth looking for a lightweight paint sprayer, under 2kg – they get heavier once filled! You might also want to consider a design with a shoulder strap if you’re keen to spread the weight slightly more evenly.A range of garden fence panels available.

Like the other models featured, is also suitable for a full range of paints, so you don’t even have to limit yourself to just fence spraying either. Emulsion, oil-based, and water-based paints are all suitable for use with this sprayer, meaning it can be used for furniture and walls as well as outdoor surfaces. As well as being suitable for both solvent- and water-based fence paint, this sprayer can also be used to spray alcohol and other liquid disinfectants. It creates a fine mist which makes it suitable for spraying both light and heavier coverings of all the aforementioned liquids. Becher’s Brook, the sixth fence on the first circuit, was named after Captain Martin Becher who was unseated from his mount, Conrad, and fell into the ditch when leading in the first ever Grand National in 1839. “Water tastes disgusting without the benefits of whisky” he reflected and the obstacle bore his name from that day. There are four nozzles included, of differing spray diameters: 1.5 mm, 1.8 mm, 2.2 mm and 2.8 mm. These are used to help spray paint of different viscosities, as well as define the spray size depending on the job. Several other adjustments can be made, including changing paint flow rate and breadth of spray, to fully customise application. When it comes to capacity, the large 1400 ml paint container is one of the biggest featured here. As with all of these sprayers, it goes through paint at quite a rate, but this reservoir holds enough for approximately 1.5 fence panels, which is about as much as can be hoped for from these machines.

The changes to the start are aimed at slowing the speed the first fence is approached at. While moving the start further away from the crowd reduces noise that can distract the horses. There is a hazard to overcome even before the race starts. The build-up, parade and re-girthing prior to the off lasts for around 25 minutes. This is over double the time it takes for any other race. Of course, it can be hard to know exactly what to look for when buying one of these nifty gadgets. After all, you want to make sure you’re getting the best fence sprayer possible, to make the job as painless as it can be.
