While you should always follow the manufacturer's recommendations, the general rule is that wood fencing should be stained every five years and sealers should be applied every two to three. This maintenance will help keep it looking fresh and create the best protection possible against harsh weather and other outside elements in Florida.

Wood fencing should be cleaned by first wetting the fence and then using a pressure washer with a 25-degree tip. Make sure to use a low pressure setting and rise a few boards at a time, scrubbing stained areas and letting it sit. Rinse and repeat until your wood fence is fully cleaned. Following these instructions helps many Panama City property owners protect their investment for many years.

It depends! Sanding is not necessary if you are staining a brand new wood fence. If you're staining an older fence, whether it has been painted before or not, sanding is recommended to eliminate the old and prepare the wood for the stain to hold. As always, for any more detailed questions, our fence professionals are available when you call us at Mr. Fence Florida.

You should! Before applying any type of finish to a wood fence in Florida, any old finishes, built-up dirt, dust, grime or other substances should be removed. Pressure washing will do the trick.

The best way to keep your new wooden fence looking new is to paint or stain it every few years and keep it clean. This will not only keep it looking fresh, but will also help protect it throughout the year in the Panama City area.

If your wood fence is made with dry materials, a good rule of thumb is to wait a month or two to allow it to weather a bit. On the other hand, if the fence is made with pressure treated wood materials it may be 3-4 months for the posts to dry enough and then can be checked with a moisture meter

A shadow box fence is a popular wood privacy fence that is made to look equally finished on both sides. When installed on your Panama City property, it can create privacy without showing the wooden rails holding it together like a standard privacy fence would.

It certainly can be! While the airflow is limited compared to a wood fence with widely spaced pickets, shadow-box fences are more able to withstand windy conditions than privacy fences with no spacing at all.
