You can use pump garden sprayers for Ready Seal, Wood Defender and other similar stains that recommend flooding the surface and letting it self-level. Some garden sprayers don't work well because either the tips can't handle the pigment or the internal components aren't chemically rated--maybe that's the problem with his HDX. I don't know what the best pump sprayer is for this, but lots of people do it successfully. I decided to avoid the whole issue and bought a basic Graco.
Protection is rated for 1-3 years for horizontal surfaces (like a deck) and 2-5 years for vertical surfaces (like a fence) you will have to wait a year or more for subsequent application.
The post are pine and it does darken the light pine color some. In my opinion and as shown in the video, it still looks good. It will be a lighter color than the rest of your cedar fence but still looks good.
@TheAustinRichardson . Thank you for the reply and for clarifying the post. I'm doing a two tone fence. The pine post, rails and top cap will be dark walnut and the cedar pickets and top front cap will natural cedar or mahogany.
@@TheAustinRichardson I actually think the two-tone effect really works here! I assume it's treated pine--which definitely affects how it takes color, but cool how it worked out! Did you do one coat or two, and how heavily did you apply it?
Oil is the only way to go. Water base in the sun will peal.
Yeah I agree. Oil base is a lot better product. One of the reasons why I bought this product.
Uhm.... That's the wrong kind of sprayer! Lol

it fades faster than other brands but it's easier to put on.
what would you recommend? Does it need to be re-stained after a year or 2?
How often does this need reapplied?
Yes how often?
how long is it rated to last before re-application?

It looks beautiful! That cedar fence really stands out.
@metal422life thanks
There is a link in the description to view or purchase the product in Amazon. You can also find more details about the product there as well.
How’s the stain holding up? How frequently does it need reapplied? You have cedar fence?
@@icedteamama176 it’s a cedar fence. I haven’t had to reapply any yet. Holds up really good.
@@TheAustinRichardson thank you! We went with Cabot semi solid oil based.
Thanks for the vid, beautiful job! Are the post and rails cedar as well or pine? If pine, how did the stain turn out?
