Wood Fence Walnut Creek – Let All American Fence Corp Help You Choose a Wood Fence Stain

Installing a wood fence at your Walnut Creek home is a sizable job. You may have spent a good amount of money to have the fence installed. You understand that the color on the fence will fade, so you’ll want to know what the best stain is to use when it is time to re-stain. Let All American Fence Corp help you decide which wood stain is best for your Walnut Creek wood fence.

Some homeowners decide they don’t like the color of their wood fence, and will choose to stain it before it is needed. Others will simply want to reapply a stain to help spruce the color up. However, the best reason to stain a wood fence is for protection from the elements. Sunlight and moisture can make the color fade and eventually damage the wood. Use these suggestions to choose the stain for the wood fence around your property.

• Consider your house and landscape. Most likely you will want a stain that closely matches the other colors. You don’t want your fence to clash with your home or surroundings; you want others to notice its beauty.
• Pay attention to how your property looks at various times of the day. Taking pictures will help you notice how the colors appear around your home – the exterior paint, shutters, doors, bricked areas – look throughout the day. All American Fence Corp can help you choose the stain that is best for your wood fence on your Walnut Creek property.
• Woods stain differently, so when you get samples of the stains you like, ask the paint company or home improvement store to supply samples painted on the wood for your fence type. Bring the samples home with you and compare the samples with the other colors on your property.
• Use stains that will protect the wood. You’ll want to choose a waterproof stain to help avoid water damage to your wooden fence. This type of stain will also have an ultraviolet protection which will stop the color from fading. You may want to use a darker stain since it will protect against ultraviolet better than lighter stains. Choose a stain that is also mildew-resistant.
• Semi-transparent stains or solid color stains are available. Semi-transparent stains allow the wood grain to be visible and can be striking. Solid stains, on the other hand, will mask or cover the wood grain so it is not visible.
• Oil-based exterior are made with linseed oil, alkyd resins, or Tung oil. They also contain pigments and stabilizers. Water-based stains are made from acrylic resin or latex. They also contain stabilizers and pigments. Generally, a water-based stain will last longer than any oil-based stain you might choose.
