How many coats of stain should you put on cedar?

• <div><p>The general consensus is that two coats of stain are required and since the cedar is siding, a third coat of sealant is always a good idea. This helps protect the wood and stain, so you won’t need to resand and restain for at least a decade. Each stain after the first will darken the wood, so be aware of that when choosing a colored stain. </p></div>

Do you have to seal wood stain?

• <div><p>Applying a topcoat sealer is not required, but it will keep the stain from fading over time. This is particularly important if the stain imparts a color or varnish. If you’re <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-stain-wood.htm">staining exterior wood</a>, you should apply a sealant or finish to prevent weather-related issues down the line. Also, stained wood that lacks a seal won’t look as clean and fresh. A clear topcoat will give it the professional result you want. </p></div>

Q: Can you paint galvanized chain link fencing?

• <div><p>Yes, you can paint galvanized chain link, but the process is a bit more difficult as it requires additional prep work. Before applying the primer and paint, you must remove the original coating from the metal, which can be time-consuming. If the original coating is not removed, the primer and paint will not bond properly and cause peeling over time.</p></div>

Q: How much longer will a fence last if it is stained?

• <div><p>Moisture and rot are the largest threat to wooden fences. Stain can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-does-wood-fencing-last.htm">help your wood fence last</a> 15 to 20 years, but only if you choose a stain with waterproofing qualities or add a sealant. Oil-based stains create a thicker moisture barrier than water-based stains, though both are mold and mildew resistant. You&rsquo;ll generally need to re-stain your fence every one to eight years to get full protection.</p></div>

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>
