Wood fences are naturally prone to damage to moisture and UV damage. We all know this, and it is exposed to the elements daily. The contact with the ground exposes it even more to moisture too. Without proper care, your fence can quickly become warped, stained, discolored, or rotted. Fence stains are a liquid product that you apply to your fence that creates a protective barrier from the elements. As you might guess, these barriers do not last forever and need to be replaced occasionally to keep your fence protected. So, how often should you stain your fence?

The frequency of staining depends on several factors such as what direction the fence faces and what type of wood it is made of. In general, you should stain your fence every 2-3 years. This will help keep it protected from the elements and keep it looking its best. In addition to the routine staining, you should stain your wood fence 4-6 weeks after it is installed.
