Well, I have next week off, thought it was going to take all week to stain my fence. Did most of it today, will do the other side on MON.
(More time for weights and beer all week next week I guess, going to be 95 and humid all week).
Marty, this shite says its good for 5-7 years. (Cabot).
Should I re-stain it like every 3 years to keep it nice? Put up my sign for my killer Pitbull, so Im covered if any douche walks in my yard and gets bit by little Ollie. (Olive).
-
Looks great. How long after building it did you let it dry before staining? I’ve heard six months on salt treated lumber.
-
Thx IG... It was put in like 4 months ago. The guy had the fencing on his lot for 2-3 months, so he told me to do it end of AUG, so I think the timing is right.
Looks much better than just plain wood, I dont like it when it goes gray and ages. This was how it looked new.
-
Honestly Cabot sucks.i completely stopped using it.prob get 2-3 years out of it if on a deck but longer on a fence.Cabot used to be great and now they such but they still cruise on business due to there name.Sherwin Williams recently bought Cabot so one would assume it would get better.Either way it looks good and on a fence will prob last 5 years.
Yes definitely restain every 3 years.

Nice fence, also Best type of fence to stain mate the ones with the gaps between each board are a fucking nightmare and would take at least 3x as long to stain. Would charge a customer more in labour to stain a fence than the labour to erect it, thankfully the timber comes pressure treated so always leave the staining to the customer on fencing jobs
-
Its good timing, because I have a new douche-bag neighbor that I was forced to snap on, he kept coming over,bugging me.
Dog tries to go at him, and he keeps on trying to talk to me while Im trying to control her. Guy's a real tool.
I finally blew up on him and scared him away, but the fence makes it that much better,keeps him away, keeps the dog from biting his face off.
(Takes a lot for me to snap, came over 7 times between FRI afternoon and SUN morning, finally had it and let him have it, spit was flying out of my mouth and in my beard I was yelling so hard at the douche).
Howdy Doody looking Mutha...

Yup, the smooth side w/out the cross-beams went on like nothing, had my wife do the hard part of painting this side with the cross-beams.
She likes to paint and she's hot in her bikini, so it works for me.

Try a 4" sausage/mini roller if it'll fit in between. Goes on way faster than brushing and heaps better coverage. I like a 5l pot with a bucket grid.

nice new dog dave... is that some of the dog's playthings in the yard.. ;)your project reminds me of the time i had to dig a moat in the front of my house due to water coming in the bottom floor... when i was out digging my one neighbor out of my earshot asked my father who was there supervising the technical aspects of the job if i was deformed....... my father told him no, he just likes to lift weights..

Good job..........looks much better.

Will try that next time mate great tip thanks. Was on about 3 days doing a small 4 foot high fence using a brush at my old house by time got in all the gaps, vowed never to do it again afterwards
-
Fence looks nice.
Enjoy.
-
Nice job. Takes a lot of motivation to do something like that on your free time.
Good thing about a job like that is that you don’t have to do a ton of prep work like covering up furniture and floors.

Yep, cunt of a job with a brush. The roller carries enough paint to just mash it right in on anything rough milled so it's nice for cladding as well.
Pro painters get paid enough to piss about all day but those of us who work for a living have to get shit done! ;D

Fence looks great and Ollie is cute. My daughter has two Staffordshire Terriers and they are the sweetest animals ever. /cue the anti-pit bull crowd now...

I gather wind is not a problem where you live.

Small forest of deciduous trees standing straight as an arrow, and a full lawn. You tell me if it's in a high wind area, lol.

Not sure what a full lawn has to do with wind or the lack thereof. The trees are a good sign that your not very wind resistant fence should remain standing for a long time. How are the posts set? Mine are bolted to H shaped steel anchors set in concrete. They allow the entire post to be above ground level. This not so much for wind resistance as it is to keep the posts from rotting in soggy soil. My fence is around 20 years old and it is still standing solidly.

Unlike you, I didn't stain the fence and now I wish that I had. Instead of the cedar turning a nice silvery gray like I hoped it would, it's just dirty looking with moss on it.

Viktor Orban build nice fence on Hungarian border ;D ("people" of islam is very unhappy about that !? )

Because the lawn looks like it is Kentucky Bluegrass and that doesn't do well in persistent high wind areas (shallow roots )

Thanks. I would never have known this if you hadn't told me.

it will fade well, these kinda jobs can be done in less than an hour with a roller, sure youl drip about a 4th of the stain in the grass by rolling but your done real fast
-
Funk, thx...
Shes a cute dog, a hand-full, but she's ours. Dont care if she's Pitbull, or whatever, she's a nice Babe.
9K fence, 2500.00 in training, she costs me big $$$, but again, we take care of dogs and love them.
I know you Funk, I know your great dog White Fang (RIP) :-[
They are here for a short time, Dogs > People.

Rob, thx.
I read Cabot sucks also, but it came out OK and if I do it every few years maybe it will last.
I used Sikkens on my last fence, lasted 10+ years but for a 5 gallon bucket, they get 500.00. This bucket costs 170.00.
I hope to sell this place in like 5 years, so no long haul shite for us. Let the next people deal w/ it.
5 years is good Rob, the 2nd coat will be easier than the 1st, and it went on real easy this time. Ill prolly be dead in 5 years anyways.

Thats what I did Marty, roller. Went on real quick, took like 3 hours because of both sides. Also did one section out back not in pics.
Have one more section to do, will take pic's and report back here to GetBig w/ updates.
I know GB is ghey, I mentioned wife in bikini, and no one requested pics. She said only SF and Fortress can see her nudes, and SF already did. **shrug**
-
No real wind issues here, America's Stonehenge is in my back yard, Leonard Nimoy filmed here.
The crap I hear out there at night is comical, but I think I can bury my ghey-ass neighbor out there if it comes down to it.
The "star" is where my house is, then there's my back-yard. Aliens.

A roller is the tool I'll use to refresh my fence. Most people use an airless because it is faster. I find a roller less messy and you don't need to spend a day covering everything up to avoid the over-spray. Since i'll need to clean my fence first, that's going to be where all the time goes. But, good prep is essential to successful results. My plan is to use a semi transparent stain in a medium to light warm gray. This should really brighten the yard up.
-
Prime, I was thinking about spraying until I watched some Vid's.
Real messy, doesn't soak into the wood like it does w/ a roller/brush.
This went so fast, I was shocked, I thought I would be at it all next week. More time w/ the wife in the nude I guess??

What? This beautiful creature wasn't painting the fence along side you? Where is your Tom Sawyer ingenuity?
Maybe I'll stain my fence nude, since I hate getting my clothes messed up....oh wait, half of it is either street side or facing my two neighbors. Nude fence painting might be legal where I live, but I've a reputation to uphold. Maybe I'll just wear a thong. ;D

Prime, she was painting w/ me. She does the hard work, she likes to paint. And yes, she was in her Bikini. I know, neighbors. ::)
Been w/ this lass since 1983, so 35 years now, she's 52 and hard as a rock. I'm blessed. Train together 4 days a week, can out drink most men I know, hard core lady.
Only SF saw her nudes earlier, at least his are unedited. He's special. (My bud).
She knows all about you retards, she thinks Vince is the balls, chicks love gay guys. I just said he needs to keep his Kielbasa put away.
Funks a family friend, so Julie said she's a little embarrassed (bare assed) that he saw her pic, but she good with it, its classy IMO.
The other ones on my phone w/ my giant crank on her chest, no one wants to see that.
-

Ted, Im pretty calm by nature, so I give people a chance. Especially if you have to live next door.
The guys an odd-ball, but he no longer comes over or looks at me, so mission accomplished. He has two, 20+ year old son's, keeps saying how tough they are.
They ran away when I was yelling at their pussy Dad like he was a bitch, I just said "Dont fukkin' come over here bitch".
30 years of home ownership, never had an issue, this guy is a puss, issue no more.
It worked.

You're an alright dude and from what you've posted, your gal rocks too. Chicks love gay guys and I love chicks who can out drink most men because that means they are survivors. SF is special. He's my bud too. Fuck the neighbors!

Nah, is all good, shes comfortable in her skin (so am I,literally).
Shes 52 and blows away most 20 year olds... Smoke show. Proud of her.
We just know Funk personally for 14+ years, so she's a little shy there, our friend seeing her nude. Anonymous creeps like you guys, she could care less. :)

Good, I do as well, if shes not available, I use her pics. (And our vids that we film).

POWER! No termite problem where you live?
I Pellius built that fence in Hawaii ... it would be gone in a matter of months!
Great looking fence and ypu have a great dog ... but ALL dogs are great and are better than many people.
I 'rescue' many "best friends" (mutt-type buds) from the pound and one such "mutt" turned out to be a star in major motion pictures with absolutely no assistance on my part.
So .... No termites!
