Because it is something we see every day, it can be hard to notice the brightness fade over the years. Since the cost of new fencing can amount to considerable investment, it makes sense to keep it looking good for as long as possible. A good stain can not only do that, but it can also extend the life of your fence at the same time.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With just a little effort, you can easily breathe new life into a fence that has been damaged by the harsh rays of the sun or the moisture from years of rain and extreme weather. The trick to success here is choosing the best method for applying the stain to your fence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Two commonly used techniques can get the job done, but only you can decide which method will work best: roller on spray. The answer depends on <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bobvila.com\/articles\/how-to-stain-a-fence\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">several factors, <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">including how much time you have and the look you want to achieve.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-15017e1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"15017e1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-large\"> How Much Time Do You Have?<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8643823 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8643823\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The choice to apply your stain with a roller or a sprayer may depend on how much time you have. Rolling on a stain will take a lot more time. So, if you have a very long fence and you plan on staining with a roller, expect to dedicate several days or weeks to get the job done.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is also concern over weather conditions. If you\u2019re in an area that gets very hot, you may only have time to work on staining your fence for a few hours a day. Extreme heat or wet weather can also extend the time it takes to complete the job.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-19f5969 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"19f5969\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-large\">Pros and Cons of Rollers<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-747e31c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"747e31c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You get better coverage<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A thicker coat so the stain will last longer<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You don\u2019t need any special equipment<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Minimal risk of staining plants or the surrounding area\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Less likely to find unsightly drips<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Less clean-up<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are also many cons to consider as well:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Much more time consuming<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No special equipment is needed (just a nap roller and a stiff-bristle brush for touch up)<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1347aa6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1347aa6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-large\">Pros and Cons of Spraying<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b3bc813 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b3bc813\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While spraying may seem easier, other factors could make you rethink your choice<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can complete the job quickly<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More even coverage<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Easier to apply stain in hard to reach areas<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Always a risk of over-spraying (you\u2019ll cover not just your fence but everything else around it)<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More chance of drips going unnoticed<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The result will be a lighter coat<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It can be very messy<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is no doubt that you can achieve a quality result with both roller or sprayer applications, and since no two fences will have the same conditions, it is up to you to weigh the benefits of each.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are still struggling with making the right choice after considering all of your options, consider a third option; <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/moyerlawncare.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hiring a professional <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">to take the load off.
