Built for East Texas weather

East Texas sun breaks down stain faster than most places. Plan on re-staining a deck every couple of years and a fence every few, depending on the stain and exposure.

Stain comes in transparent, semi-transparent and solid. Transparent shows the most wood grain but needs recoating most often; solid stain looks more like paint and lasts longest. On a deck, the floor wears faster than the rails, so many people restain the floor more often.

Options

• Deck: Floor, rails and stairs.
• Fence: One side or both.
• Deck + fence: One visit, same color.

Questions

How soon can I stain a new fence?

New pressure-treated wood often needs to dry out for several weeks first. We check it before staining.

What kind of stain lasts longest?

Solid stains generally last longest; transparent stains need the most frequent recoating.
