Q: Should I paint my deck with a brush or a roller?

• <div><p>You can paint a deck with either a roller or a brush, but rollers are more common because they&rsquo;re faster. There are benefits to using a brush, though. Brushes offer more control than rollers, so it&rsquo;s a worthwhile route if you don&rsquo;t mind spending more time on the job. The fastest way to paint a deck is with a sprayer, but they&rsquo;re more expensive than rollers and brushes and more likely to result in an uneven coat.</p></div>

Q: Can a beginner use a paint sprayer?

• <div><p>Beginners can absolutely use a paint sprayer, but there is some technique involved, so you&rsquo;ll have to spend some time learning how to use your sprayer. It&rsquo;s a good idea to practice on a scrap surface before moving to your actual painting project to get used to using the sprayer. This can help avoid over spraying, which can lead to drips, bubbles, and other imperfections on your finished product. </p></div>

Q: Can you paint or stain pressure-treated wood?

• <div><p>Pressure-treated wood can not only be painted and stained, but it should be; doing so will help to prevent surface or <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-common-problems-can-endanger-your-deck.htm">deck board cracking</a>. Allow the wood to dry out before painting it, as pressure-treated wood from the hardware store takes longer to dry than kiln-dried lumber. If water beads on the surface, it needs additional time to dry&mdash;in fact, it can take weeks or even months to fully dry. As soon as the wood absorbs water on the surface, it is ready to be painted or stained.</p></div>

Q: How do I keep my cedar from graying?

• <div><p>If you don&rsquo;t treat a cedar fence, it will turn from reddish brown to gray over time. You can keep the cedar from graying and retain its attractive, deep red color by sealing your cedar fence with a stain that keeps the wood&rsquo;s oils in and serves as a barrier against the sun&rsquo;s UV rays.</p></div>

Q: How long does wood stain take to dry?

• <div><p>Wood stain is usually dry to the touch within 6 to 8 hours, but you should let each coat sit for 24 hours before applying another coat or applying a protective coat over it. If you applied your stain in high humidity or cold temperatures, you may need to wait up to 48 hours for the stain to dry completely.</p></div>
