Deck & Fence Staining
Sherwin-Williams Woodscapes stain — Tricorn Black (flat)
About This Deck & Fence Staining Project in Loveland
Over 350 feet of cross-buck fence — that’s a lot of wood, and a lot of surface for the weather to work on. This Loveland project was about protecting it and making it look sharp.
First we pressure washed the entire run to strip away algae and grime, because stain only bonds to clean, sound wood. Then we applied Sherwin-Williams Woodscapes stain in Tricorn Black with a flat finish. The result is striking — a long, clean line of deep black fence that frames the property beautifully and is far better protected against the elements than bare wood ever was.

Deck & Fence Staining Questions — Loveland
Should I stain or paint my fence?
For most wood fences, stain is the better choice. It soaks into the wood to protect it while still showing the natural grain, and it wears more gracefully than paint, which can peel and flake on a fence. We used a quality Woodscapes stain here for exactly those reasons.
Why pressure wash a fence before staining it?
Fences collect algae, dirt, and mildew, and stain won’t properly bond to a dirty or slick surface. Pressure washing strips all that away and opens up the wood so the stain penetrates and lasts. On a 350-foot run like this, that cleaning step is essential to an even, durable result.
How long will a stained fence last before it needs redoing?
A quality stain properly applied typically protects a fence for several years before it needs a refresh, depending on sun exposure and weather. Flat-finish stains like the Tricorn Black used here wear evenly, so the fence ages gracefully rather than peeling.
Can you handle a large amount of fencing?
Yes — this project was over 350 feet of cross-buck fence, and long runs are routine for us. We have the equipment to clean and coat large amounts of fencing efficiently while keeping the finish consistent from end to end.
