How much does a five-gallon bucket of stain cover?

• <div><p>A five-gallon bucket of deck stain will cover roughly 875 square feet in a single coat. Actual coverage will vary based on the type of wood you’re staining and the number of coats. If you plan on doing multiple coats, multiply the square footage by the number of coats to calculate how many buckets of stain you’ll need.</p></div>

Q: Will paint stick to vinyl fencing?

• <div><p>If you paint a vinyl fence, it will likely stick to it for only a brief amount of time. This is because vinyl is not a porous material, so it's not an ideal surface for holding paint. Initially, paint will stick to your fence, but it will eventually peel off. Applying primer before painting your vinyl fence will help paint last longer. Certain primers are well-suited to vinyl, which means <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-you-paint-vinyl-siding.htm">you can paint vinyl siding</a> with the proper preparation.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain a wattle fence?

• <div><p>Maintain your wattle fence by inspecting it at least twice per year for loose weaving and degrading branches. Replace any seriously degraded sections, ensure water drains properly around the posts, and trim any sprouting branches if you used green wood. If you notice the weave loosening, you can often tighten it by gently pushing down on the top branches. You can also apply a natural wood preservative every two to three years to extend the fence's lifespan. </p></div>

Q: Is it better to stain or seal a cedar fence?

• <div><p>Unlike a sealer, which sits on top of the wood grain, a combination stain and sealer soaks into the top layer. As a result, stains do a better job of protecting the wood from UV damage and rot and last significantly longer. Use a near-translucent stain that won&rsquo;t alter the cedar&rsquo;s natural color for the best results.</p></div>

Q: What other projects should I do at the same time as gutter painting?

• <div><p>Most gutter painting pros also specialize in complete home exterior painting. You may save by making your gutter painting part of the cost to paint the exterior of a house in its entirety. Many people have all parts of their home exterior painted simultaneously to keep everything looking equally fresh. Consider having walls, trim, porches, shutters, and doors painted as well.</p></div>

He's very professional to deal with and can do any kind of painting I can think of. We were more than satisfied with what he did to the interior of our house. If we had wooden siding instead of vinyl, I'd have hired him to paint that as well. Any paint projects come up in the future...
