Q:How To Stain A Fence

This first step is very easy in the fence staining project. Closely examining the wood involves looking for things like broken fence pieces, screws, nails, or staples. These things need to be removed or fixed in order to end up with a smooth surface where you can apply the wood stain. When you are working on an old wooden fence, your project can be seriously slowed down if you have to remove nails along the way. Sand down areas that may appear too rough or you believe could cause issues with application. Take the time right at the beginning of the project to fully inspect the wood and deal with any broken pieces right away. This is likely only to take a couple of minutes.

Finally! Now that the wood is prepped and dry, you can get to the most important part, learning how to stain a fence. This process is very simple. You are going to apply the stain using a brush, roller, or a hand-pumped fence stain sprayer like the Olympic^® Premium Deck Care Sprayer. No matter the method you use, make sure to apply an even coat of wood stain to the fence. Cover the entire surface. If you see areas that are blotchy or where the stain puddles, quickly use a brush or roller to smooth these areas out.

Now has come the time to enjoy your beautifully stained fence. You can kick back and relax. However, you will want to maintain the look of your newly-stained fence.At least once a year, you'll need to clean the fence and provide any maintenance that is necessary. Use Olympic Premium Deck Cleaner to easily remove dirt and mildew stains so that your fence looks great for years to come.
