• <div><p>Routine staining or sealing and periodic inspections to extend life.</p></div>

Q: How long should I wait between coats?

• <div><p>When applying multiple coats, wait<b> four to six hours</b> for each coat to dry. Not waiting long enough can result in streaks, peeling, and uneven color. Plus, it will be more difficult to discern where the second coat has already been applied.</p></div>

Q: Should you paint your old wood fence?

• <div><p>You can paint an old wooden fence, but make sure first to do a deep clean (ideally with a pressure washer) and inspect the fence for any existing damage.

Q: Should I paint both sides of my fence?

• <div><p>If possible, it is beneficial to paint both sides of your fence to protect the fence more completely from the elements.
