Great Video. This inspired me to do the same. I just installed a new fence a few weeks ago and decided to stain it using the same stain you used. I took your advice and didn't use a pump spray. I ended up buying a Harbor Freight Paint & Stain Sprayer for $40 and stained my entire fence. It took many refills, but the paint came out nice a uniformed. I didn't have to use the roller or brush , just the paint sprayer did 100% of the job.
"Noassatall syndrome" man that was awesome. Good video
Just had 250’ of board on board cedar fence installed. Your video was extremely helpful and I will definitely use all your experience as I proceed. Very important information on behr and sikkens stain for me too. Thanks for all your time in the making of the video. 👍👍👍
Great review! I just purchased the same Behr Stain & Sealer today and was debating about purchasing the same sprayer. After watching this, I'm glad I didn't!
This stuff is great. I used the clear version on cedar fences I built. They still look new(ish) 10 years later. I also slathered it on the pressure treated wood as it gives it a nice color, and may extend the life.
you used a clear sealer on your fence and the cedar didn't go grey? which product did you use? Im wary of stains. I just want to maintain the natural look of the fresh cedar pickets. I live in the desert, lots of UV hitting it, but very dry climate.
Thanks for the video and great clip at the end!
Thanks for the video. Although there are more color choices with the water based stain, I’ve decided to go with the oil stain instead. Im in NORCAL where it’s mostly dry. I heard water based stain tends to peel or flake like reg paint while oil penetrates into the wood. think I’ll use a roller. The fence is made of redwood and pressure treated posts. I’m going for the cedar color.
Thanks for your content. That was very helpful. I will be renting ther airless paint sprayer form my project. I like the idea of using the pressure can sprayer, but, I see that it was a problem for you. Thanks again.
Man inflation. $160 for 5 Gal 1 year ago? It's nearly $240 here HD
Vote accordingly
@@southern842 It's back down to $170 FYI. Used some last week :)
Super helpful thank you. Question: I was planning to use the exact same stain so I called the bear support line. They told me that this stain will last a year maybe two at most vs six years for the acrylic version. So how is yours holding up? Also, my understanding is you can re-coat with oil no prep needed. Is that the case?
Great video
great video, thanks
Very informative video!
It's not the PSI that matters on the pressure washer. It is the GPM that you need to look at. GPM measures how much water the pressure washer can throw per minute. That is where speed comes from. The reason manufacturers advertise PSI and want you to concentrate on it is because PSI is just a party trick and super easy to achieve -- but GPM performance actually needs quality parts and engineering, and that costs the manufacturer real money. So they sell you on PSI instead. Next time you take a look at the pressure washers, notice how many of them have absolute junk GPM numbers. Anything under 3 GPM is a "toy grade" pressure washer.
you right, oil based stain is absolutely a friend of soap and water clean lol
strong work.
1800’psi was low in my 2year old fence. I had to put very close to the wood to get the natural tone
Great video, big help! But a Q, please, I have an older pressure-treated pine deck and I'm leaning heavily to the Behr water-based, the last stain that was used on it, but I keep reading different opinions on which is better for PT wood, water- or oil-based, the marketing can confuse at times. :) Water-based apparently gives me a little more coverage, and supposedly it lasts longer, and cleans up easier but I know a lot of serious wood people like oil. I'm also in the South where there's a lot of humidity and supposedly water-based is better for that too. Is any of this ringing a bell for you, do you have any experience with older PT pine decks and water-based stain? I got it cleaned up nice after a good pressure washing but I just can't pull the trigger on which stain yet.
Did you stain both sides of the fence?
Your calculation is for only one face of the fence?
Just one side
Some oil stains turn black over time, especially in cooler wet regions. Stains that fade and disappear without leaving an ugly residue are where it’s at.
What was the original stain ? Water or oil ?
If my deck was freshly stained with BEHR transparent oil based stain for just 3 weeks. I hate the oil based smell which is till there after 3 weeks. I want to completely remove it. Can I use the high pressure power to remove BEHR transparent oil based stain as what you did ?
Not sure if I would attempt to remove fresh stain with a power washer. You'll probably end up damaging the wood. If it's just the smell you hate, I would give it a little bit more time and see if it goes away.
Help, do you think acrylic stain (water-based) would work with the same tank sprayer?
Hey Art, yes the same type of sprayer will work fine with a water base stain. Just make sure you don't have a clogged tip like I did that caused the stream.
@@CentennialRenovation Thanks. I went with water-based for the easier clean-up. I'll try to let you know how it works out.
How much oil based stain do I need for a cedar fence 44 linear feet each side. Two coats
I got about 22 linear square feet out of each gallon per coat. At about 12 minutes in the video I talk about product coverage. Good luck!
Your psi is fine. You want more gpm
Do you find the color to be orange? Or red?
More of like a darker cedar natural. Orange if anything, but it isn't bright orange.
Just killed the neighbors flowers
get an airless because the spray will be atomized and won't carry too far
I can show you pictures of what the sun will do to that BEHR stain after a year, but you won't want to see it. My fence is almost the same color as the raw wood was BEFORE I stained it a year ago. Behr is crap.
Great video, will you marry me? lol
Word of caution this method. Talk to your neighbors before you do this or you'll be in legal trouble. Spraying stain is a bad idea when you have a neighbor on the other side of the fence. My neighbor poisoned my dog and her new puppies when he spray stained the fence. He covered the dogs in stain and killed them all when they licked the stain. Idiot.
That's terrible! Thanks for the tip. Sorry about your dogs 😢
@@CentennialRenovation He thought he was saving time and money. Cost him a lot more than he thought. AKC registered Dalmations aren't cheap. We took him to court.
Shaky cam isn't fun to watch. Especially at 2x
