How do you make a wooden fence look nice?

• <div><p>There are several ways to make a wooden fence more visually appealing and keep it that way for years to come.</p><ul><li><p>Treat the fence with a wood sealant to protect it against the elements. It’s recommended to reseal a fence every two to three years, but if you live in a harsh climate, you may want to do it more frequently than that.</p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-restore-faded-wood-fence.htm">Restore the fence</a> if it’s old, corroding, or fading. That includes cleaning it and making small repairs where needed.</p></li><li><p>Paint the fence in a color that you like, whether that’s a simple white or more vibrant option. Fences usually need to be repainted every one to three years.</p></li><li><p>Decorate the fence with planters, string lights, birdhouses, mirrors, shutters, and more. </p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: How long will limewash last?

• <div><p>How long limewash will last depends on the quality of the application and the porosity of the surface. For example, a limewash on brick will last five to seven years. If it's a home exterior application, exposure to specific weather conditions is also a factor. Limewash tends to develop a patina over time, and its natural look masks damage and imperfections well. </p></div>

Q: How much longer will a fence last if it is stained?

• <div><p>Moisture and rot are the largest threat to wooden fences. Stain can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-does-wood-fencing-last.htm">help your wood fence last</a> 15 to 20 years, but only if you choose a stain with waterproofing qualities or add a sealant. Oil-based stains create a thicker moisture barrier than water-based stains, though both are mold and mildew resistant. You&rsquo;ll generally need to re-stain your fence every one to eight years to get full protection.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain a metal fence?

• <div><p>Regular cleaning, rust-proof coatings, and checking fasteners help prolong the lifespan.</p></div>

Q: Is whitewashing permanent?

• <div><p>Whitewashing isn&rsquo;t permanent, but it can last for a long, long time. When you apply it correctly or have a seasoned pro whitewash your brick, whitewashing can last for 20 to 30 years or longer. Whitewash is very durable and typically requires little maintenance, making it a great project for most DIYers.</p></div>

Derek did excellent work painting our triple garage doors and staining the large front door and trim. Not a drop of paint got anywhere it was not meant to be. We will certainly hire him again for any future painting. His work is top quality.
