Outdoor Wood Structures

Complete Coverage

A huge benefit of pre-staining wood for [fences] is that you completely cover all 6 sides of each board. Both edges, both ends, and both faces - every part of the wood is completely covered and receives the maximum protection! Once a wood structure is built, there are areas of the wood that are no longer fully accessible to future staining or wood care. Unfortunately, these same areas are also where much of the future damage will occur because these areas remain damp and dark most of the time - making them prime spots for the growth of mildew and the onset of decay.

Drastically Extend the Life of Your Outdoor Wood Structures

The US Forest Products Lab (a government run research institute) has conducted extensive testing on the positive impact of pre-staining outdoor wood. Their finding reveal that pre-staining makes lumber last an order of magnitude longer - greatly extending the life of your fence, deck, or any other outdoor structures.

Better Results

Pre-staining wood in our climate-controlled facility using high quality equipment, ensures equal coverage for a more consistent result. Uneven color is a common complaint for stain companies. The condition of the wood (how wet it is at the time of staining) and the subsequent weather immediately after the staining process can have an impact on the absorption of the color pigments and will, therefor, impact the final resulting color. Pre-staining (mostly) eliminates these variables by controlling the temperature and humidity at which the stain is applied!

No Mess

Pre-staining eliminates messes on the job! "Over spray" is when nearby objects (bushes, sidewalks, houses, cars, etc) may be hit with stain that was carried in the breeze or from the slip of a hand. Pre-stain completely eliminates this possibility and reduces clean-up to (basically) zero.

For homeowners, this provides peace-of-mind. For staining contractors, this eliminates liability!

Climate Controlled Pre-Staining Facility

Our pre-staining facility is climate controlled to maintain the optimal temperatures and humidity levels - this maximizes and equalizes the absorption of our stain by the wood. The benefit to you is that each and every board looks its best and will receive maximum protection for the longest life possible.

Industry-Best Pre-Staining Equipment

There are many methods of pre-staining. To be fair, just about any professional pre-stain method is pretty good. However, our industry-leading factory method brushes the stain into the grooves and grain of the wood, evenly - ensuring the greatest penetration and consistent color absorption.

Conditioning Oils

Because we use the absolute highest-quality wood products, our stain includes high-quality conditioning oils that penetrate all the way down to the very center of the wood. These oils prevent warping, twisting, and cracking that is common in non-stained wood - by keeping the wood healthy and conditioned. In fact, these oils are so effective, they can even rehab older warped and cracked wood - restoring much of the "life" back into older boards (we cover this in greater detail in our Wood Restoration section).

Pay special attention to this benefit! Any stain can be applied to wood and make it "look" better … but our stain and our process actually makes your wood healthier!

For professionals, this is a huge benefit to you and your business. The #1 call-back in the fence business is to address the warping, twisting, and cracking that occurs so often. You can literally solve one of your biggest headaches by pre-staining your wood with us!
