Deck & Fence Stain Calculator

Choosing the Right Stain

• Clear sealant: Shows natural wood grain, requires reapplication every 1–2 years.
• Semi-transparent: Adds color while showing wood grain, lasts 2–4 years.
• Solid stain: Hides wood grain, most durable (4–6 years), best for weathered wood.
• Always clean and dry the surface thoroughly before applying stain.
• Apply when temperatures are 50–90°F and no rain is forecast for 24–48 hours.
