Q: What happens if it rains after you paint a fence?

• <div><p>If it rains after you paint your fence, you may need to apply another coat of paint after the fence thoroughly dries. This will ensure a good seal if the rain weakened any areas of the paint. However, if your paint had enough time to dry thoroughly before it rained, you should have no problem.</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: How do I maintain a metal fence?

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

Q: How long should I wait to seal a new cedar fence?

• <div><p>If your cedar fence is new, don&rsquo;t delay. Unlike treated pine, you don&rsquo;t need to wait months for the wood to dry out for it to accept stain. With cedar, the sooner, the better. Seal cedar within two weeks of installation to prevent the sun from fading its red color.</p></div>
