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>

Q: What is the easiest way to stain your fence?

• <div><p>The easiest way to stain a fence depends on your experience and comfort level with the project. Applying stain with an airless sprayer or pump sprayer might get the stain job done faster, but it can be tricky. Paint rollers and stain brushes are slower but simpler for a DIY project.</p></div>

Q: Does staining a fence prevent warping?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-apply-lasting-stain-your-wood-fence.htm">Staining a wood fence</a> isn&rsquo;t guaranteed to prevent warping, but it can help. Plus, it&rsquo;s a beginner-friendly DIY project that you can finish in a few days. If you want to try it, you&rsquo;ll start by stripping it of any old stain or paint, then sanding it. After that, you&rsquo;ll clean it and spot-treat any mold or mildew. When it&rsquo;s dry, you can apply the stain. </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: 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>

Owner, Matt, and his crew did a great job in a very timely manner. They installed a new chain-link fence at our new residence. I highly recommend Salt Valley Fence Company. And I might add they had great service after the sale.
