| Why Paint Your Fence? |
Offers protection from wind, sun and rain, Wood doesn’t last long on its own and can rot easily without adequate protection, Can rejuvenate your outside space, Maintenance is low and with the right application you shouldn’t have to paint for a number of years, The style options to paint your fence are very flexible, using varying colour schemes or even adopting its natural woody tones, Staining or painting helps reduce water getting inside the fence, giving it an extra layer of protection
|
| Is It Better To Stain or Paint A Wood Fence? |
When it comes to painting a wooden fence, there are a number of options in terms of finish. There are three broad forms of exterior wood treatment; wood paint, wood stain & wood varnish. While a varnish creates a clear protection on wood, wood stains and wood paints are the two forms of coloured wood treatments that are great for fences.
|
| Staining Pros |
Stains still show the grain of the wood as they soak into the wood, which can create a softer, rustic look, Allows the wood to breathe, Can often be cheaper than paint but may not have the same coverage, Re-application is an easier task, Shows its wear a lot less
|
| Staining Cons |
It may look less pristine than a newly painted fence, Stain needs to be at least 50 degrees to dry properly, Less durable than paint
|
| Painting Pros |
Gives the fence a full new look with a bold solid colour finish, Providing extremely effective protection, Can be applied on top of surfaces that have already been painted on, Will cover a greater surface area than stain
|
| Painting Cons |
Paint smothers the wood, Will crack and bubble under weathering which is more noticeable than a stain failing
