Spring Fence Painting Tips

If you have a wooden fence you can understand that rain, snow, and Colorado elements can be taxing to your fence.

A fence is has a strong coat of stain or paint to protect from the elements, but after a while material begin to crack and then fade. Make sure before you repaint your wooden fence to take a look at these tips.

Get Help

Fences vary in size, if you’re a corner lot this could become a very difficult project to handle.

One day should be all it takes for you to either stain or paint your fence, but make sure you get help.

This can be very tedious for some people, make sure you don’t overestimate how much you can complete, have other people, friends or family, come help you with the task.

Plan

Timing is very important when it comes to staining or painting. The weather is key, as it needs to be not too cold and not too hot, or else curing could be difficult.

A mild day without any precipitation is ideal. With any moisture paint will not stick and then moisture will be sealed into the wood, this can decay, mold, or rot your fence.

Research

Wooden fences can be painted or stained and the results will be very similar.

Both options have pros and cons.

When painting you can choose an array of color, and then usually are cheaper than staining. This does not age well every time, you will see paint chips.

Stains on the other-hand can be embedded into the wood, then you will see a gradual fade, compared to signs of decay.
