If you are looking to renew the look of your fence, you might also be aware that you have two options to do so: painting or staining. You’re familiar with painting, but staining is a bit different. Here is what fence staining entails, so you can make an informed decision between the two.
- A Color Solvent: The main thing to know about fence staining is that it is more of a solvent to seep into the wooden fence rather than a layer to adhere to the surface. When properly applied, the stain will soak into the fibers of the fence and leave the color within the material rather than on top of it.
- Preserve the Natural Texture and Pattern of the Wood: Because fence staining involves the color being absorbed into the fibers of the wood, it allows you to preserve the look of the natural texture of your wooden fence while still improving the color to make your fence look beautiful.
- Protect the Wood: While fence staining doesn’t create a thick layer on the surface of the wood the way that paint does, it can still create a moisture-proof barrier that can protect the wood from water damage and UV rays.
