Protecting Your Investment with Fence Staining
Over time, a wood fence can weather to a gray color, which some people like. This color really means that the wood is decaying. As moisture enters the wood, it will cause it to rot. Most professionals agree that it is important to protect your fence from the elements to prevent decay and rot.
To do this, you can use wood that is resistant to decay or use treated wood fencing. You could also stain the fence yourself or you can hire a fence staining contractor. Even if you use a wood that is resistant to decay like redwood, you still may want to consider staining it. Stain can bring out the rich tones of the wood when you select the right colors.
