I’ve searched for this exact content for 30 minutes and FINALLY found this video. Thank you. Trying to choose a stain color for pressure treated wood and this is very helpful.
Thanks for this, I wish ready seal made sample sizes. This was the next best thing. I was undecided between dark walnut and pecan for a new cedar fence. Very helpful video.
THANK YOU!!!! I've been asking this question for weeks in preparation for staining my new deck!! I could not find the answer anywhere! This is AWESOME!!
Hello there , professional fence builder here. It is a great product it seems to work best of cedar products just FYI for anyone looking into this. Also I highly highly recommend a 2nd heavy coat 6 weeks later. It will get you closer to the color and look immaculate.

This is amazing, wish I found this sooner! I have a much older cedar deck, and the wood is sooo dark now, but hey, this is an amazing product. Now I have to figure out what color to go with my cedar sided home ;)
put some sodium metasilicate on it to restore the wood then oxalic acid to neutralize the ph, and brighten the wood making it look as original as new as possible!! then stain
FINALLY! A video like this! ONLY QUESTION- When you say WHITE WOOD, what do you mean? I need to choose a color for NEW Raw T& G V groove white pine for covered porch vaulted ceiling. I DO NOT want red and DO NOT want dark. Want neutral brown with only SLIGHT warmth.
Can I use this stain on top of wood that had already been stained? I currently have a brand new pergola that has been stained in mahogany but I’m going for black or the closest I can get to it.
Ready Seal's.........Natural- Light Oak 505, has a very appealing color shade on new, western red cedar fences. I believe there is a video here on YT showing that exact color applied on a cedar fence.
Why do the deck boards all look so much darker than the fence boards? Also if all 4 types of deck wood are included for each color stain, its a lot harder to tell that there are 4 different types.
not sure why but my natural ceder left drip marks on my cedar horizontal fence. I saw a few but assumed the hood proof stain and seal would dry and didn’t back brush, now all the drips have dried on my entire fence! Any info on what to do
So how to we match the cedar fence to a white wood (fir) front door? I want to use the Natural Cedar stain but it sounds like it's going to look different on both.
So when using this do you not need to go over it with something else? I used it yesterday for my deck and it feels weird. Like i get a film on my hands from touching the wood. Hope its just still setting up and itll be fine in a few days
If you have excess just go over with a roller to soak up and spread out the product. The wood can only absorb so much. Just means you oversprayed or applied.
Hello, I am interested in the natural cedar but I am afraid since my fence is old it will look so different than my newly built fence door. If I power wash the old fence will it still look like the one in the video or it will have a lighter color? Thanks
I am going to say, yes. Cedar and the oil in the wood seem to interact this way. It will age and change, so let it age see how it changes, and if its still orange, change it in the spring.
I have an old cedar wood Swingset, I’m planning on using Readyseal redwood, how do you think that would look? The cedar is a bit grey from the sun, going to clean and pressure wash before staining it
I just want a neutral, cooler-toned dark brown. Not too orange, not too red. I was thinking Dark Walnut because Pecan looked orange on my pergola. But Dark Walnut looks orange here?! Sigh ha :)
There is way too much orange in all of their colors IMO. I would also like to see the back side of those tickets to see the quality of the cedar. If it's true Western Red cedar and high quality pickets that have no sapwood, then the dark walnut is passable. Otherwise, in my opinion, it looks pretty rough
hard to follow what you're looking at between the shot from 10' away and when you cut to close up you don't know what wood/stain you're looking at...... but thank you !
Well, I see that these people don't care 2 cents about the people they make videos for.. just ignore them.. I will try to answer this question for you, but keep in mind that this guy could be a complete idiot and mean something completely crazy in terms of his whitewood.. "Whitewood" is a generic term that refers to construction-grade boards that may be pine, spruce, hemlock or fir. Which exact wood he used it a complete mystery lol.
If I applied Dark Walnut to a couple of boards and the wife decided it was too dark and wanted to go with Pecan, can it be removed or stripped and Pecan applied?
Must be mistaken. I've never seen T 111 cedar. Not saying it doesn't exist but unless it's 80 years old or something crazy like that, it's probably pressure treated pine
This isn’t really very helpful without knowing what the wood types looked like BEFORE they treated it with ReadySeal! This would have been a MUCH more useful video if they had simply included slats of unstained & untreated wood next to each test section (i.e., each of the three test groups should have had 4 extra flats wood - one unstained slat of each type of wood they chose - the “pressure treated wood”, the cedar, the “white wood” and the weathered wood). Without knowing what the wood looked like BEFORE the ReadySeal was applied, it’s kind of useless to use this video as a reference (since each of those categories of wood have lots of different variations of what the base wood could look like).

They do make sample sizes. On their website.

Given that you are not able to sample ready seals stains in the store, this was great info!

Why can't it be found in Calif???
@@cathieporter168 it's made in Texas
@@cathieporter168 i found it in San Diego last year.

Is Ready Seal okay for a pine fence, e.g. Home Depot panels..?
Can I use this stain on top of wood that had already been stained? I currently have a brand new pergola that has been stained in mahogany but I’m going for black or the closest I can get to it.

Can you guys do a video with red wood fence
Why do the deck boards all look so much darker than the fence boards? Also if all 4 types of deck wood are included for each color stain, its a lot harder to tell that there are 4 different types.
How many coats of stain are on these?
What does the Redwood on cedar fence look like
not sure why but my natural ceder left drip marks on my cedar horizontal fence. I saw a few but assumed the hood proof stain and seal would dry and didn’t back brush, now all the drips have dried on my entire fence! Any info on what to do
Great video
So how to we match the cedar fence to a white wood (fir) front door? I want to use the Natural Cedar stain but it sounds like it's going to look different on both.
Hi! Does anyone know how I can tone down my ready seal natural Cedar color down? The color is a bit too orangey for me.
I found that the cedar is just super orange and Ive been very happy with the lighter ones or walnut
I just did mine and it has so much redness for my liking too. Beautiful for pergola though.
Walnut and it will look better than orange
💥 How about the color light oak …??
This is great, thanks!
So when using this do you not need to go over it with something else?
I used it yesterday for my deck and it feels weird. Like i get a film on my hands from touching the wood. Hope its just still setting up and itll be fine in a few days

This is really helpful. On a new (4 mo old) PTP fence, do you recommend applying the natural cedar with or without a pre-stain wash?
Hi! we used the Ready Seal Mahogany on our ceder fence. And it looks bright neon orange. Is that normal? Thanks!
I am going to say, yes. Cedar and the oil in the wood seem to interact this way. It will age and change, so let it age see how it changes, and if its still orange, change it in the spring.
Yes because ready seal has a clownish amount of orange tint in their stain for some bizarre reason
I have an old cedar wood Swingset, I’m planning on using Readyseal redwood, how do you think that would look? The cedar is a bit grey from the sun, going to clean and pressure wash before staining it
How long does it take to dry?

How is looks. golden pine ??
I would prefer something to show all the colors on regular deck wood. This isn’t enough.
If I applied Dark Walnut to a couple of boards and the wife decided it was too dark and wanted to go with Pecan, can it be removed or stripped and Pecan applied?
yes
Are the cedar pickets 5/8 or 7/8 actual thickness?
Nice!
No redwood fence
Let me save everyone a bunch of time. If you love crazy amounts of orange in your stain, ready seal is the brand for you.
i AM STAINING T-11 cedar what color look good color for the trim on a shed ?
where do you buy T1-11 cedar???
Must be mistaken. I've never seen T 111 cedar. Not saying it doesn't exist but unless it's 80 years old or something crazy like that, it's probably pressure treated pine
Can you please redo this video? You don't show each set of boards properly labeled and held in view.
The video shows everything pretty clearly... and it does a recap in the last few seconds showing exactly what you are looking for.
@@aspiziri You are correct. I must have stopped before the very end. Brain seizure. Thanks.
Old fence looks the same with all the difference stains
I bet this guy is way happier selling takomo golf clubs now

They look like the natural boards.
