We recommend applying paint or stain every two years or as needed.

We recommend applying a protective finish to the fence once it is installed. This helps to minimize the effects of weathering and to maximize the lifespan of your fence.

The wood boards we use to build your fence still contain some moisture from when it was processed at the saw mill. Moisture keeps the wood from cracking or shrinking. After installation, your wood fence will shrink a little as the wood drys out in the sun. This is normal and part of the natural aging process wood experiences when exposed to the elements. Painting or staining your fence within 1 week of installation should minimize this process.
