In Part 4 of the fence project I show my staining process and how to stain a wood fence using a paint sprayer.
The last part of my fence makeover this year is staining the fence. This year I built over 200 feet of shadowbox fence. This is a more difficult fence to stain because the boards overlap creating difficult areas to reach. When building the fence I overlapped boards more than normal to create more privacy but also made the staining process more difficult.
Luckily for me I have a friend that owns a painting company and allowed me to borrow his paint sprayer. Using this sprayer made the process much easier! It was still a ton of work but I can imagine how much longer it would have taken with a brush or a roller. Each board was sprayed a total of 4 times on each coat that was applied. This year I had time to stain the outside of the fence twice, and the inside once. It looks good but when I redo the last side of the fence next year everything will get stained with another coat. I believe I might even purchase my own sprayer.
