Q: Can you make changes to your neighbor's fence?

• <div><p>You can only change your neighbor's fence with their permission. A neighbor's fence is their property, and altering it without their consent could constitute trespassing or property damage, which may have legal consequences. If you have concerns or disagreements about your neighbor's fence, communicate with them openly and try to reach a mutually agreeable solution. If you believe the fence violates local zoning laws or property regulations, consult with local authorities or seek legal advice to address the issue through proper channels. </p></div>

Q: How long does wood stain last?

• <div><p>Wood stains last anywhere from two to five years, depending on exposure to the elements, your local climate, the type of stain, and the surface it&rsquo;s on. For instance, vertical surfaces last longer than horizontal surfaces. Some types of woods, like dense hardwoods, will require a recoat yearly, as they are too dense for the stain to absorb. In any event, apply a recoat every 2 to 4 years. As for storage, a can of unopened stain can last up to 5 years, though results may vary.</p></div>

Q: How many coats of stain do you need for a fence?

• <div><p>Typically, you need one to two coats of stain for a fence. The number of coats you need can vary depending on the porosity of the type of wood. You can also apply an extra coat of stain if you want the color to look more saturated or to cover lap marks and patchy spots.</p></div>

Q: How do you make a wooden fence look nice?

• <div><p>There are several ways to make a wooden fence more visually appealing and keep it that way for years to come.</p><ul><li><p>Treat the fence with a wood sealant to protect it against the elements. It&rsquo;s recommended to reseal a fence every two to three years, but if you live in a harsh climate, you may want to do it more frequently than that.</p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-restore-faded-wood-fence.htm">Restore the fence</a> if it&rsquo;s old, corroding, or fading. That includes cleaning it and making small repairs where needed.</p></li><li><p>Paint the fence in a color that you like, whether that&rsquo;s a simple white or more vibrant option. Fences usually need to be repainted every one to three years.</p></li><li><p>Decorate the fence with planters, string lights, birdhouses, mirrors, shutters, and more. </p></li></ul><p></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>
