[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 1275055, member: 4362"] Last year I posted a picture of a wooden fence I built and my intent was to let the wood cure a year then stain the fence with diesel and roofing tar. This seems to be the thing to do down here and it makes the fence look really nice. Prior to building my fence I looked at other fences to get some ideas and insight. I'd say that well over half the fences I looked at had been stained with this tar solution but now that I've given the wood time to dry good I'm having second thoughts on whether or not to stain it. Looking at some of the fences I looked at a year or so ago I see where they might need to be re-stained. Just staining it once is going to be a big enough job but I'm wondering if I do this am I just creating another maintenance job for me to have to do every few years? If so, I don't need this. I'm trying to make my world simpler and wondering if plain unstained sun aged boards don't have enough beauty of their own. Any thoughts or experiences with this? [/QUOTE]
