It’s a year or two later and we’re about to tackle this in our yard. How has your stain stood the test of time? Could you decide to prime the whole fence before staining or would this prevent the wood from absorbing the stain?

Hi Ashley,
It’s a joint fence between us and our neighbors to the left and the right of us, as more fences are. And that’s exactly why we hand painted it as opposed to spraying it as no paint seeped through to the other side. Their fence looks exactly the same. And they love our fence! We have lovely neighbors.

Wondering about the part about the neighbors. Whose fence is this? Is this on your property? If so it’s your fence and staining/maintaining all sides is your choice and responsibility. Expecting them to do anything to their side may just hurt you in the long run if this is technically your properties’ fence.

In reply to Jamie. Thanks for taking the time to reply, Jamie...With neighbors on 2 of 3 sides, I believe I'll be using brushes and pads. All the best!
