These days many homeowners like their privacy. Families like to keep to themselves and to block out strangers and even neighbors from time to time. Many homeowners have gone the way of installing a wooden privacy fence. Wooden fences like this can increase a home’s curb appeal and value quite rapidly. Most wood fences that are installed are either cedar or pressure treated lumber. The wood needs to be protected from the elements and when the right wood stain is used it can really bring out the beauty in the wood. A popular choice is TWP stain on wood fences. TWP stain comes in a wide variety of tones and colors that can really accent your outdoor decor to help bring your property together. A wooden fence wrapped all the way around the yard and stained with one of the TWP stain color choices can completely change the look and feel of your property. Most privacy fence are 4′-8′ tall and show wood on both sides. A product like TWP stain should be applied to both sides of the fence for adequate protection. You may want to consult with your neighbor about staining their side of the fence to be sure they agree with you. You may also need to get permission if staining the wood with TWP stain requires you to be standing on their property. Wood stain should not be applied to new wood right away. The wood needs to dry out for several months before it can be sealed.
