Q: Can you waterproof all wood?

• <div><p>Yes, you can waterproof any wood that has not already been treated. A good way to test this is to splash some water on it. If the water starts to bead up, the wood is treated and most likely doesn&rsquo;t need another coating.</p></div>

Q: Should you sand your fence before staining?

• <div><p>On most untreated wood fences, there is no need to sand before treating. You typically only need to sand if there&rsquo;s an old coat of paint or stain on your fence. If you do need to sand off a previous paint or protective coating (like an old stain or sealant), use medium-grit sandpaper.</p></div>

Q: Do you stain both sides of a fence?

• <div><p>You should stain both sides of your fence to get the full benefits. Fences often fall along property lines, so you may want to save a buck by leaving your neighbor&rsquo;s side in the dust. If you do that, all you get is a slightly better view. Moisture and UV rays can still sneak in through the side that&rsquo;s unpainted or worn down and damage your fence. Rot and rust will spread, even if you can&rsquo;t see it from your side of the lawn.</p></div>

Q: Can I leave a cedar fence untreated?

• <div><p>A cedar fence will actually last quite a long time even if you don&rsquo;t treat it with stain. In fact, you can expect to get between 15 and 30 years out of an untreated cedar fence. However, if you want to preserve its color and extend its life, treat it with a combination stain and sealer every three to five years.</p></div>

Q: What is the best way to apply stain?

• <div><p>Your tool of choice ultimately comes down to personal preference. Many DIYers prefer applying stain with a lint-free rag, but others stick with a paint brush or a roller. Wipe the stain and work it into the wood, working with and against the grain. If you&rsquo;re applying multiple coats, allow the stain to dry for around <b>four hours</b> between coats.</p></div>
