Fence staining FAQs
View MoreFence staining protects wood from weather damage, prevents rotting, enhances color and beauty, and helps extend the lifespan of your fence system.
Staining both adds color to a wood fence and highlights its natural grain while also protecting it against UV rays. Meanwhile, sealing protects the wood from moisture and weathering through the creation of a waterproof barrier. Oftentimes, a stain solution will have a sealant formula as well.
The cost of your fence staining project will vary depending on the size of your fence, its material, and the type of stain you’re interested in. To get a clearer idea of what to expect from us as far as pricing, request a free estimate.
Following the initial installation of your wood fence, it will typically need anywhere from 4-6 months of curing time before it can be stained. That way, the wood can dry out from its original pressure treatment and absorb the stain effectively when the time comes. One way to tell if your fence is ready for stain is to sprinkle water on the wood. If it beads up, it needs more time to dry out, but if the water is readily absorbed, your fence is ready for staining.
Most fence stains have a lifespan of about four years, but the longevity of your stain ultimately depends on the severity of weather conditions throughout the area. Regions with high winds, lots of rain, or brutal sun can leave you needing re-staining sooner.
Yes, especially when you partner with Top Rail Fence. We offer a variety of stain colors and finishes to choose between, from transparent to solid, to ensure that we can match your style preferences.
Absolutely. Staining helps create a barrier against UV rays, rain, and mold, which can keep your fence strong and beautiful for years to come.
