Finally a fence stain airless spray video that addresses working around the metal posts. Thank you!
Thank you Ready Seal! We could not be more pleased with how the fence turned out! It is just beautiful!
What color stain was used on your fence? I'm planning on staining my fence and like the color that was used on yours. Thanks.
FANTASTIC Product. First time user works great, don't worry about it running it smooths out on it's own.
Is it oil based or water based?
@@dsmith2858oil.
I really love this stuff. Just put it on my cedar fence. 3 things.... 1) it goes on darker and fades lighter. 2) I used a roller to apply and a 2 inch brush to brush back the runs. ( I just don’t like seeing runs) 3) it DOES wipe off the poles easily.
From Salado TX
@@ChappySinclair it’s still looks great. If you are asking about the fence boards, they were smooth. The fence does have standard framing 2x4s. The stain takes just a bit longer for the stain to soak in. It looks really good.
Worth the money.
Awesome neighbor! Here in Harker heights next to salado. We also have had great results with ready seal here in texas.
H. 2 years later and I’m wondering how it’s holding up
Love readynseal. I’m in mckinney and just picked up a few gallons to put on my new cedar patio.
How is the ready seal holding up?
I use exterior oil based spar urethane (about 50 dollars a gallon) on my treated lumber fence, applied with a 4 inch brush. Still looks good after one year.
I heard about 3 "It doesn't matter" lines and I had to check the comment section
What color was used in this video? Pecan shows on the can however this could be another color.
He replied down further in comments "WE USED PECAN ON THE FENCE"
In Ireland/ UK we use concrete H posts. Overspray of any product would be unremovable. And we live like mice, all the semi detached houses squashed together, so outdoor spraying is kind of a no no as it will drift and your neighbours will go nuts. My neighbour sprayed his facia boards 3 doors up. My house buddy had a mist of fine white paint over one side of his new car the next day. After initially saying he would pay, and my buddy getting three paint repair quotes, he then said he wouldn't. It went to the local District Court 2 years later and the guy had to pay through the nose. Live and learn
Thank you for the tips🙏🏻
do you only need one coat? or should you do 2 coats?
My customers love ready seal perfect for cedar Fences
You can apply wood defender anytime of the year as long as you yourself can handle it cold or hot
We need clarification I see the pecan color can however that looks much darker is this a dark walnut that you're using?
It is PECAN ... if you read down towards bottom it was answered in one of the first few posts
@@TADDs101 I think they are trying to say that there is a mix up. I watched other pecan and dark walnut videos and this looks like Dark walnut. Even the can the guy used looks like it has the dark walnut sample photo on it.
@@moselc09 It's definitely Pecan. I sell this product at the Ace I work at. The only reason it looks so dark in the beginning is because of how heavy he's applying it. The Dark Walnut doesn't have anywhere near as much red in it.
@@Goochensteinburg1122 have you had customers mix two stains? does it work? i want the dark reddish look and i thought of mixing pecan with dark walnut.
@@moselc09 Yes you definitely can mix two stains so long as they're in the same product line. People do that with products like minwax all the time. The ready seal should work just as well. Just make sure you're mixing the same ratio each time. You might also check out the Mahogany color before mixing anything. Not sure about other stores but we actually offer these little pouches of free samples of Ready Seal where you can actually test some it of out on your wood before buying.
And that’s the right way to protect your fence!!!!
How important is it to clean the would ahead of time? Ready Seal recommends a water-bleach mixture.

Could I use an automotive hvlp spray gun to apply this stuff ?
Can ready seal be applied to indoor wood floor
how many years its good to put ready seal again?
Tried two garden sprayers today from Home Depot, neither would spray out like that no matter how many times I tried to adjust it. I cleaned them with paint thinner and those sprayed in a nice mist. I think RS needs to be thinned out to spray like that.
What color of stain do you use in this fence?
Definitely an awesome product! I refuse to use anything else.
what color is it?
Does the wood change color from rains after staining, and does the stain slow down rot
@@PrestigeLoft The stain does lighten up after a few months. Likely due to the sun vs the rain. I have not had any boards rot that are stained but my wood was only a year old before I stained it.
@@maravilla1234 I used the Pecan
How this product resistance to water? Thanks!
How do you open the darn lid? It's got the hard plastic around the rim of the lid, and I can't get it off. LOL
Lets see pics of that same fence 2 years later please.
I can show u mine 3 almost 4 yr later. It’s pretty good stuff and holding on great. in fact, whatever the contractors used we hired out to do the last time before i did it myself this time, that stuff didn’t last as long.... i have an airless sprayer now (consumer grade Graco) and it’s super awesome to spray on, fill and blend just like he said; anyone can do it.....
Can you apply a semigloss type varnish?
Can I apply clear coat on tap?
Could I use RS to coat a plywood roof of a small 4x6 shed and leave it with just that protection to prevent leakage or damage?
No
Do you recommend doing two coats, or is one sufficient?
💥Still waiting for an answer
I’m scared to stained/ seal my fence, that’s because I’m afraid it might bleed through the other side of my neighbors... and our fence have a little gap that might get over sprayed. Now if I used the rollover or brush will it bleed through ? Or how did you deal with over spray so I won’t have any problems with my neighbor?
If there is a gap between your fence and your neighbors than you can use a roller and paint brush without having to worry about soaking all the way through the wood. If you do use a roller just make sure not to roll to quickly over the cracks as it might sling some onto your neighbors fence.
Texas Home Improvement Network oh ok... maybe I’ll use a brush so I can be very careful not to sling onto the my neighbors side. thank you very much for replying just made me feel better and more motivated to do it. ... btw I just subscribed to your channel. I’ll definitely ask more questions if have any!!(if you don’t mind) ... have a wonderful day!!
Can tints be added?
How many coats?
just 1 for me when i used it on our 6ft cedar fence; still looks awesome after 3 almost 4 yr now......
Is he using a semi trans or a solid. Im thinking dark walnut for my new side gate.
Semi
Is it recommended to back brush if I spray the fence with an airless sprayer?
No, you'll never need to back brush with Ready Seal.
Being oil base how do you go about cleaning sprayer?
That's my question also I don't want to kill my sprayer
where is the cheapest place to buy ready seal?
Amazon... or get it price matched at Lowe's or HD
How far did a 5 gallon get you?
What is the drying time for this product
Is Ready Seal oil based or water based? No where on their product or website do they say.
Oil based
@@fl5966 yep I found that out but they say it is a safe oil base product that meets the new envirionmental standards. That worries me. But I did go with it on my fence. Time will tell if it lasts long in this hot Texas heat!
@@gosman949 I have 4 of the five gallon containers being delivered tomorrow to do my fence. I'm also hoping it holds up to Missouri winters and summers!
Hi, can you please tell me what Titan impact sprayer model are you using?
440 titán it’s
Perfect for any job smoller o bigger job
is this water or oil base? price on bucket and where can i buy it?
oil based
So you dont need to wipe this stain off?
How much would it cost to have someone stain a fence that size
The location I live I got two bids, $1,085 & $1,200 (labor cost). I decided to stain my 6' x 430' Westeran Red Cedar fence my self. (both sides, used 21 gallons) I used ReadSeal (Pecan); applied with a Wagner HVLP sprayer (two light coats as recommended by ReadySeal). The results are amazing. This is my first time to stain a fence.
@@tommywwalden1599 what's the current condition?
@@北南-f4u The stain is looking good and it will be three years this November 2023 since I stained the fences.
thx, tww
I have a Magnum x17 airless sprayer, I’m using Ready Seal to stain my fence, The only thing is what can I use to clean out my Magnum x17 when I’m done Staining, I would really appreciate any feedback. Thanks

I just had a fence installed 2 months ago and plan to stain it this weekend. Do I need to pressure wash it or apply some sort of cleaning product to the wood prior to staining?
you would only need to pressure wash or clean it if it's gotten really dirty. The cleaning you do on older wood fences is to get rid of some of the weathering that has discolored it. Ready Seal will penetrate into the wood so the surface doesn't have to be perfectly clean.
@@texashomeimprovement what color was used in this video? Says Pecan. But looks darker. I like it!
Any temp, even below freezing? I got about 700 ft of fence to do TODAY and it is about 22f. Used this product several times(great stuff) but never while below freezing.
You can apply it below freezing as long as the wood is dry. They recommend a moisture content of 12% or less before starting.
Where can Ready Seal be purchased in the Napa/Sonoma CA area?
You can order them through a home Depot, Lowe's, and I believe Ace hardware you can actually call this number 888-782-4648 and the guy will tell you where to buy it or you can order directly from ready seal
how do you clean the over spray off of stone work
Use mineral spirits if you pressure wash it you push it deeper in the stone th-cam.com/video/CzEZtC1gO-w/w-d-xo.html
what color stain was this
Pecan
I love this color but it looks much darker than pecan..... are you sure it was pecan this fence was stained in?? Looks almost more like their mahogany?
He answers it in a reply to Kate Lee below. Its Pecan
Yeah, I used ready seal pecan on my fence and it was much lighter than this, even after multiple coats. The color in this video looks more like their dark walnut.
I think that’s a cedar fence so it looks way darker than pressure treated would.
No can you tell me how much I can charge for 100 square ft fence 6 ft tall
everyone makes their own prices and will be different for every company. it takes experience to know how much you can/should charge. sorry but you won't get a good answer on a youtube comment...
You can charge anywhere from $0.45 - $2.00 per square ft. I can say the average price people/companies charge is between $0.55 to $1.00 per square ft while some charge $2.00 per square foot, no negotiation. Depends on how big you are, your overhead costs and also where you live. Hope this helps!
When a contractor says "i charge $2 a square foot,does that mean only for the labor or is the materials included in the $2 a square foot price.
@@dwade6322 that's with materials

Which color is this? My home is dark gray brick, light gray shake, and white trim. I'm in between ordering pecan or dark walnut. Which would you suggest?
Kate Lee this color is pecan and it’s a great option. My personal choice would be walnut for you because I think it would look good with the colors you said. But again that’s personal preference. Can’t really go wrong with either one. You can also call Ready Seal and get some suggestions
@@texashomeimprovement I appreciate your reply so much! Most people tend to ignore questions. Dark walnut was my first choice because I love deep rich colors, but started questioning it being too dark. Would you say that the dark walnut has less of a red hue? I would prefer a color more neutral than warm.
Kate Lee it’s definitely more neutral and less red in color. It’s just a really rich brown
Thank you so much! Farm walnut it is!
Kate Lee if you take a before and after of the fence shoot me the photos! I’d love to see how it turns out! Might even feature it on our website if you’re ok with that. Tim@thipro.com

What type of cleaner you used to clean the sprayer after the job complete ?
😂😂😂 he's like fuck that ain't telling you shit
If you get to it fairly quickly you can get it off with a rag from most surfaces. Once it soaks in and sets it's pretty hard to get out.
I cleaned up my electric sprayer just by running water through them 2 times. Easy. Rollers I throw away because the amount of stain in them left over is hard to clean up even after letting them soak overnight. Brushes are easy to squeeze out

I used Ready Seal on a deck I built for a customer before she sold the home. She loved it. I went back by 2 years later and the deck was weathered, splitting and grey. Very disappointed, especially being oil based. I've had much better results from other brands. Sorry, but cannot recommend
What brands do you recommend?
I wonder if it’s better designed for vertical surfaces like fences
On Ready Seals website they say the deck boards must be porous to accept the stain as it relies on penetration of the wood rather than coating the surface like some water based stains
2 years and what did you expect?
What Cain of color is that?
How long does it last? 5yrs???
To properly maintain wood, a light cleaning and recoat are recommended every 2 years on horizontal surfaces and every 3 to 4 years on vertical surfaces. Some hardwoods, such as Ipe, Garapa or Tiger Wood may need reapplication yearly. These extremely dense hardwoods do not readily soak up sufficient amounts of stain.
beetlejes how about the one's at home depot I think it's pine.
I use ready seal but this videos title is totally wrong there's not everything you want to know for example applying darker color over a lighter color. I applied redwood but me and my girlfriend are definitely thinking mahogany due to not even a year on a horizontal surface which is the deck I have to redo it cuz it faded so bad. So I figure mahogany being it's darker should make it last a little longer if this doesn't last a year I'm going to discontinue with this product. All vertical services still had some color I did them ower anyway.. just let everybody know when you apply this stuff it's a lot darker and when it dries it gets lighter
So you were able to apply a darker color on top of a lighter color? Did it turn out ok? I currently have a brand new mahogany stained pergola but I want closer to black without having to paint it.
Used motor oil gives better results and protection.
Spray backroll spray one more
What color stain was used on the fence? I like that color. Thanks.
We used Pecan on this fence. It's definitely one of the most popular colors.
On that particular fence we used Pecan.
@@texashomeimprovement what kind of privacy fence is that called please, and where can we get it here in Florida, I've never saw one that tall before but would be nice to block the neighbors.
@@texashomeimprovement Is that Pecan stain on Cedar or Pressure Treated Pine?
Killed my twenty year old pine tree . Used airless sprayer and had fine mist everywhere
How weathered does the fence need to be before you have to clean it first? My fence has been up about a 1 1/2 years. I was wanting to go with a dark stain.
If it's new wood one year.
On a outdoor wood fence why not use used motor oil and diesel? Alot cheaper than that Ready Seal.
if you’re by neighbors close by, that shit would stink to high Heaven and be pretty dark as well. But if you’re in the back 40, sure, would seal just as well and who would care????
The end result, even after it has all “run down and evened out,” is SO UNEVEN and blotchy and streaky, I would not be happy if this were my fence. I can’t tell if that result is intrinsic to the Ready Seal product or just the careless (as in “they don’t care”) application technique. This is the opposite of the kind of contractor I want to work with, for sure. Raise them standards, man.
What you saw wasn't evened out or run down yet, it was just starting to run down. You have to give a bit to allow the run and soaking in to the wood.
Anyone wanting a solid color needs to choose a solid stain or just paint their fence. A stain will never not look streaky and blotchy.
Sounds like you'd be more into a Solid Stain product then, not a natural stain product.

Are you serious I'm sorry sir but it does matter what tip you use...
Definitely NOT everything you need to know.
It is irresponsible of u to tell people to use any size tip to spray stain. Somebody is going to use a tip that is way to big an make a big mess . The manufacture has a tip size on the can. If u read it an if they dont they should refer to a local paint store for the proper size. Not a boxstore but a paint store lik sherwinwillams or ppg paints
311 works just fine
Hideous colors.
It's always personal preference. I thought the fence they did in the video was absolutely gorgeous. Just wondered what that was meant to enclose, sheesh, a T-rex?😁
@@melanies.6030 Some people have "style", others have "class".
The fence is not very attractive.. looks more like a "compound".
You’re supposed to back brush, staying after you spray it onto the surface, to work it into the wood, grain for proper adhesion and penetration, when you spray it on thick like that, and it’s all running and dripping, I highly doubt it blends in and Dries even
The Ready Seal does NOT leave runs. I slopped it on my gate with a paint brush and I could see runs, but they blended back in almost instantly. I used a check Wagner sprayer and just blasted it on the fence, no runs or streaks. It is idiot proof :) Edited to add this was with the Cedar semi tint.
What kind spray are you using?
Could you tell me how much coverage you can get with 5 gallons please?
Here's a link to that information on their website. It has what the coverage is per gallon based on the type of wood you're staining.
