Everyone,
I am new to the forum. I have joined because I am looking for some assistance. We put up a cedar fence last fall and would like to stain the fence to maintain the natural wood look. We have been looking at Olympic and Superdeck as our choices, but we aren't sure which one to choose. We would like a product that will last as long as possible. We live in North Dakota so this fence will see some harsh temperatures in the winter.
We have been considering staining the fence ourselves, but we would like a few pointers before we proceed. Should we brush or spray? Do we need to pressure wash the fence before we stain? We have 250 feet of fence to stain so anything that will speed us up would be helpful. Also, we have been considering hiring a contractor to come and stain the fence for us, but we're not sure where to find someone that has experience doing this. What can I expect to pay for a job like this? Any thoughts or contacts would be helpful.
Thanks in advance.
