A well-maintained fence can enhance the look and value of your property. One of the best ways to maintain your fence is by painting or staining it. However, this can be a daunting task, especially if you've never done it before.  Here are some useful tips, assuming you've ensured your fence is clean and free from damage:

A) Choose the Right Paint or Stain

Choose a paint or stain that is specifically designed for outdoor use and can withstand the elements. If you choose to paint your fence, use a high-quality exterior paint that is water-resistant and has a UV inhibitor. If you prefer to stain your fence, choose a stain that can penetrate the wood and protect it from moisture and sunlight.  Some reliable choices include: Dulux Weatherguard, Behr Marquee Exterior and Benjamin Moore's Aura Exterior Paint.

B) Apply the Paint or Stain
​

When applying the paint or stain, it's essential to use the right tools. Use a brush, roller, or sprayer to apply the paint or stain evenly. If you're using a brush, start at the top of the fence and work your way down. Use long, smooth strokes, and don't overload the brush with too much paint or stain.

C) Allow Time to Dry

After applying the paint or stain, allow enough time for it to dry before applying a second coat. The drying time will vary depending on the product and weather conditions. Check the manufacturer's instructions for the recommended drying time.

D) Apply a Second Coat

Apply a second coat of paint or stain if necessary. A second coat will provide additional protection to your fence and make it look more polished.

E) Get Professional Help
