Opaque or solid stains tend to need replacement every five years or so. A solid stain visibly fades in 3-5 years. However, if you are concerned about having a certain color for your fence then this may well be the way to go, as you can get creative with blues, greens, golds, roses, grays, and other colors.
Fences come in a multitude of shapes and sizes. But no matter the style or function, wood is usually the construction material of choice, and you can make no better choice that cedar.
Cedar should be your only choice when you consider its unbeatable quality, appearance and longevity. The natural oils in cedar help make the wood resistant to decay and insect attack, increasing its durability and weather-ability without the use of chemical treatments.
