What happens here

When staining the top edge of the fence, hold the cardboard shield behind the fence pickets. It's crucial not to touch the back side of the fence with the shield to avoid transferring stain to the unstained side. Maintain a gap of approximately one to two inches between the shield and the fence, keeping it steady as you move the sprayer across. This technique effectively controls overspray without compromising the integrity of the unstained side of the fence.

Goal: Apply stain to the top edge of the fence while preventing overspray on adjacent properties.

What they say

Hide

rinse of the sprinklers or rain up top what we're gonna do is we're gonna take the shield we're gonna stick it behind but you don't want to touch the backside of the the fence with the cardboard shield or you're gonna get all the stain that's on there on the back of your fence so you just hold it about an inch or two away and try to keep it steady as you move across so here we go always wear your respirator it's really important if you go against the grain while you're working on a fence like this we got to do this you didn't up stain on those boards but you got to make sure if you're gonna do that that you backed rocks right behind it so you don't have lap marks sort of built up going the other way you'll end up seeing those after it all dry
