Give your fence a fresh look with a new stain.
Is your fence starting to look a little dull? Staining your wood fence is an easy way to give it a fresh look. Staining not only gives your fence a facelift, but prevents the wood from warping and twisting caused by sun and rain damage.
Painting vs. Staining
Unless your fence has already been painted, it’s a better idea to stain your fence than paint it. Stains work by absorbing into the wood, rather than sitting on top of the wood like paint. That means it won’t flake, peel, or break down as easily. You can achieve a new look for your fence simply by using a solid stain finish rather than going through the whole process of painting your fence.
Preparation
The most important thing when it comes to staining or painting a fence is preparation. The first thing you’ll need to do is clean the surface of your fence. This can be accomplished easily with a power washer that has a minimum of 2400 psi. If you don’t own one yourself, don’t fret. You can rent a power washer at an affordable price from your local home improvement store.
Preserving Your Fence’s Natural Look
If you’ve recently build a new fence or have one that’s never been treated, staining it is a good idea. You can apply a stain in a variety of finishes, from transparent, semi-transparent to solids. Typically, the greater the opacity of the finish, the longer it will last. However, you’ll also be sacrificing some of the wood’s natural look.
