FENCE STAINING

Before staining, we want to make sure the wood is dry to the touch which on average can take 1-2 months depending on the time of year.

We recommend using water-based since it keeps the color on the fence for a longer period time and is extremely mildew/mold resistant. It also provides the fence with the best UV protection. It also does not carry harmful odors or fumes during application.

Semi-transparent stain can last 5-10 years in Atlanta weather. Solid stain can last 10+, depending on the fence’s location on the property.

The stain begins to dry immediately but can take up to 4 hours to become fully rain resistant.

If you have a color in mind, we recommend color matching if possible. Color samples are also available for testing at any local Home Depot.

The graying of the fence can be due to mold/mildew buildup on the fence or happen because the wood is extremely dried out. A mild solvent pressure wash will return the fence back to its natural state.

Note: For older fences, we recommend using solid colors to hide imperfections.

When it comes to cedar fences oil-based stains are recommended since the oil can penetrate through the rigidness of the cedar. But water-based stains are still very suitable.
