Here are before and after photos of a fence staining project we did in Dallas, Texas. It's a residential job, and the customer was excited and thrilled with the results. One photo shows the process, half the fence stained and half still bare; the other shows the finished product. We used Wood Defender semi-transparent stain, and this project is guaranteed for 3 years.

## The problem: a gray, unprotected fence

Unprotected wood doesn't stay that warm new-fence color for long in Texas. Sun bleaches it, sprinklers and rain soak it, and within a few seasons the boards turn gray and start to dry out and crack. You can see exactly that on the left side of the mid-job photo: weathered, gray boards that have lost their color.

The good news is that a weathered fence isn't a dead fence. If the posts and boards are still sound, a good stain brings the color back and protects the wood going forward.

## What we did

We stained the fence with **Wood Defender semi-transparent stain**. Semi-transparent is the sweet spot for a wood fence:

- **Color without hiding the wood.** It tints the boards a warm brown and still lets the grain show through, so it looks like a wood fence, not a painted wall.
- **Protection where it matters.** Stain soaks into the wood instead of sitting on top like paint, so it doesn't peel when the boards move with the heat and humidity.
- **Even results.** A professional application covers every board face, edge and gap evenly, which is what makes the fence look uniform from across the yard.

## The result

Look at the mid-job photo again: same fence, same day, gray on the left and rich color on the right. That's the difference a stain job makes. The finished photo shows the whole backyard fence in one even color, ready for the kids' playhouse and the summer. This project is guaranteed for 3 years.
