How many hours does it take to stain a fence?

• <div><p>It typically takes three to five days to stain a fence, though most of that time is spent—literally—watching paint dry. The main issue is that you can’t stain a wet fence because the stain won’t sink into the porous grain of the wood. That means you’ll need to wait 24 hours to stain your fence after you wash it and 12 to 24 hours between each coat. Most people spend about an hour staining per 10 to 20 linear feet. </p></div>

Q: How do you keep stain rags from combusting?

• <div><p>Rags used with oil-based stains are highly flammable and can spontaneously combust in the right conditions. To reduce the fire risk, throw them in a metal container after use and add rocks on top to secure them. Add an inch of water and seal the container. Take the rags in the container to a hazardous waste factory as soon as possible. </p></div>

Q: What kind of wood stain should I choose?

• <div><p>Opt for an interior wood stain that is rated for your type of wood. Consider your personal style preferences as well as the overall use of the room when choosing a color. Remember, the color you see at the store may look different on your actual floors once applied. This is why if you have the chance, it&rsquo;s helpful to test a few options on a scrap piece of wood in the room first. Once you narrow it down, you can test a small patch on an inconspicuous area in the room to see it on the actual floors. </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>

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. Painting over dirt and debris will cause your paint to peel. Once you&rsquo;ve cleaned and repaired any minor issues, use a primer and high-quality satin paint.</p></div>
