Staining a fence is an important part of ensuring that it stays strong, resists rot, and looks great. At A & G Fencing in Chilliwack, we are big advocates of pre-staining the fence panels, saving our clients time, money, and the headaches of properly staining the new fence themselves.
A & G Fencing has a heated paint shop in Chilliwack, which is the perfect place for us to dry and pre-stain our fence panels for our customers. The shop is also equipped with a dehumidifier that helps remove moisture from the wood so that it doesn’t warp and will absorb the stain better. If you stain a fence after installation, you risk having to deal with the weather and even waiting for the wood to dry after a large rainfall.
The experienced team at A & G Fencing also carefully hand selects the pieces of wood that will be used for your fence panels to ensure uniformity and that the cedar pieces are of a high quality. This is something to take note of, since some companies may not be as diligent in their selection of materials, and pre-staining may disguise these potential flaws.
You will also want to ensure that your fencing contractor uses a high-quality, commercial stain. We choose to pre-stain our fence panels using a semi-transparent stain that our customers will be able to match to in the future, should touch-ups or re-staining be necessary. We also colour match using a solid stain as necessary for customers who are looking for a specific look or colour for their fence.
Prestaining this fence for our homeowners made it easy to install the fence between the trees and hedges.
Best of all, when you choose to have a fence pre-stained, you won’t have to enter the neighbour's yard to stain the other side. It’s also a great option when your fence is going in near hedges and other obstructions. Trying to stain a fence later when you have to squeeze between hedges and trees is not fun. At all!
While staining your fence after installation is possible, pre-staining is the way of the future. Today’s high-quality wood stains and the temperature and moisture controlled shop, such as the one at A & G Fencing, ensures that you get a beautiful, long lasting fence for your home or property.
