Q: How long does paint last on wood?

• <div><p>The longevity of paint on wood depends on factors like the quality of the paint, surface preparation, exposure to elements, and maintenance. Exterior paint on wood surfaces can last 5 to 15 years or more with proper care and maintenance. Interior paint tends to have a longer life span, often 10 years or more. Regular cleaning, touch-ups, and addressing any issues like peeling or cracking can extend the life of the paint. </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 long should you wait to paint pressure-treated wood until it dries?

• <div><p>You should wait three to six months after you buy it to paint pressure-treated wood. It needs time to dry from the chemicals applied to it. The paint will not adhere to the treated wood as well if it&rsquo;s still wet from chemicals. To test the wooden boards, drip water onto them. If the wood absorbs the water, it&rsquo;s ready for painting. If the water beads up, it&rsquo;s not dry enough to paint yet. You can build your deck or fence while the treated wood is still wet, but you&rsquo;ll need to paint it later. </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>

Q: Can you paint or stain pressure-treated wood?

• <div><p>Pressure-treated wood can not only be painted and stained, but it should be; doing so will help to prevent surface or <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-common-problems-can-endanger-your-deck.htm">deck board cracking</a>. Allow the wood to dry out before painting it, as pressure-treated wood from the hardware store takes longer to dry than kiln-dried lumber. If water beads on the surface, it needs additional time to dry&mdash;in fact, it can take weeks or even months to fully dry. As soon as the wood absorbs water on the surface, it is ready to be painted or stained.</p></div>
