Fence Staining in Farragut, TN

Privacy fences around Farragut backyards and split-rail fencing on the larger lots near the lake both take a beating from the same thing: ground moisture wicking up into the bottom rail and posts. That’s usually where a fence fails first, long before the visible face boards look bad. We check the bottom foot of every post and rail before staining, not just the parts you can see from the yard.

Our Process

• Inspect posts and bottom rails for rot before staining over them
• Pressure wash to remove dirt, algae, and old failing stain
• Replace any boards that are soft or splitting — staining over damage just hides it temporarily
• Full dry time before applying a penetrating stain rated for ground-level exposure

Stain vs. Paint on a Fence

We stain, not paint, the great majority of fences we work on. Paint sits on top of the wood and traps moisture underneath, which speeds up rot on ground-level structures like fences. A penetrating stain lets the wood breathe while still repelling water and blocking UV. Paint has its place on fences built to be a decorative feature matching the house trim, but for a working privacy or split-rail fence, stain almost always outlasts it.
