This is a neat trick that will make your old looking fence look new!
1. Begin the refinishing process when there is no rain in the forecast for
several days. This will allow your newly stained and sealed fence to dry
thoroughly.
2. Clean the fence with a pressure washer. Depending on the extent of
discoloration and presence of mold and fungi, you may need to use a
chemical wash. The pressure washer will remove the thin layer of wood
cells that gives your wood an aged look.
3. Repair broken or splintered fence posts with wood glue and
corrosion resistant nails or screws. You may need to replace some
pieces of wood, so if you aren't sure what your fence is made of, take a
small sample with you to the wood supplier.

4. Cover the ground below the fence before staining. Use newspaper or plastic to cover grass and plants that grow
along the fence line. You may also want to place painter's tape over metal gate hardware and accents to avoid exposure
to stain.
5. Apply stain to the fence using a paint roller or sprayer and smaller brush for nooks and crannies. Use a stain that
contains a sealant and UV inhibitors to protect the wood from sun and water damage.
6. Prolong your fence's life by cleaning and refinishing the wood regularly. Your fence will look better and you'll save
money in the long run.
