When you invest in a brand new wood fence for your home, you should take the time to ensure that your fence is protected so that it will last for years to come.
The most effective way to achieve this result is to stain your wood fence.
Since wood has the tendency to warp, rot, and fall victim to pests such as termites, it is important to stain your new fence right away so that it is not left unprotected for an extended period of time.
Staining has many benefits, including:

• Aesthetic appeal
• Custom coloration
• Wood sealing
• Resistance to mildew
• Protection from pests

Staining may be something that your installation company does or something that you choose to do after installation.
Regardless of when you decide to stain, the most important thing is that you do get it done, as your new investment is unprotected without it.
Staining options are nearly limitless and can be mixed in a variety of shades that meet your particular aesthetic needs.
For example, some fencing companies prefer Sherwin Williams products because of their durability and five year warranty.
If you decide to have a fence installed and stained at the same time, many fencing companies can do both projects at the same time.
If you decide to hire a company to stain your fence after it has been installed, you also can contact most fencing companies to provide this service on its own.
If you are more of a do it yourselfer, you can choose the staining option that works best for you and your fence and take on the project yourself.
