Is it worth it to stain a fence?

• <div><p>If you have the time and the budget, we strongly recommend staining your fence, especially if it's looking a bit tired or hasn't been treated recently. While you may not see the same return on investment (ROI) as you would with a project like a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-a-kitchen-remodel-increase-home-value.htm">kitchen remodel</a>, staining a fence is one of the best ways to add a facelift to your property—a new fence stain adds serious curb appeal to your home. </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>

Q: How do I maintain a wrought iron fence?

• <div><p>You should inspect the area regularly for rust, clean it with a wire brush, repaint it every few years, and apply a protective sealant to prevent corrosion.</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: How do I select the right paint or stain for my fence?

• <div><p>Select based on wood type, climate tolerance, and personal preference for color and finish, with choices like oil-based stains for longevity.</p></div>
