[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What kind of wood? Pressure treated? Do you care about style or performance?[/quote] Pressure treated. Performance is more important.[/quote] Then no. A new pressure treated fence should last 20 years. I'd only stain 15 years from now to extend the life a bit. The only reason to stain a new fence is for aesthetics/color.[/quote] If one were to stain the fence once in fence's lifetime, wouldn't earlier be better than later because it would have preventative aging benefits?[/quote] The wood is already coated in chemicals...that's what pressure treated wood is. It'd be like putting a wax coating on a car that already has fresh wax coating. Is a double wax going to extend the life of the paint? Maybe? Is it necessary? Probably not. The only real reason to stain is to change the color for stylistic reasons. [/quote]
