@morganzuhmakes: Will painting your fence black make your backyard hotter?! Today I measured the temperature of my fence and turf and compared it to my neighbors unpainted fence and her turf. Are you at all surprised by the results?! I actually kind of am 😆🤣 watch this video before painting your fence haha! (I couldn’t get an accurate comparison of our houses temperatures since my house doesn’t shade her house but my house is shaded by my other neighbors house) All measurements are in Fahrenheit. #paintedfence #DIY #diyyarddecor #doityourself
‘Y’all might be onto something,’ girl this is thermodynamics.

That’s a 62° difference from the ambient temp vs your wall. So that wall could get close to 180° in the summer in Phoenix. Thats insane. Seriously repaint

“Might be onto something…” I feel like anything black + the sun = hot should be common sense of adulthood!

I read a study today about how asu is painting roads near campus grey as it will help reduce heat by 12 degrees

And Arizona isn’t even all that hot just yet. Just wait till we hit 120’s again this year. Your backyard will be an oven

Why do comments have to be so mean and for like no good reason? People are allowed to learn new things 😂

idk if you are new to Arizona but this is not going to be a safe spot in the summer especially for pets or children.

Maybe just repaint the side walls?🧐 keep the mural but if you change the others it won’t be so insulating 😅

Science 👏 now paint your wall white. And turf gets really hot in the summer. Don’t let those babies go out without shoes.

I love the creative spirit. but you could have just as easily done a mural on a white or terracotta/adobe colored wall. also turff is brutal for heat. I'd just Xeriscape the whole thing if it were me

There’s a reason a majority of cars here are white

Speaking truth :
Also, you probably are not aware of this, but it’s going to degrade your wall faster in the heat. Mortar exposed to that type of heat is going to degrade faster so expect your wall to start cracking.

You live in the desert, No grass or turf. All natural big native bushes and trees for shade and native flowers to help local pollinators. Requires minimal water and maintenance.
