How To Powerwash & Stain A Fence. Tips staining or painting a fence.

What happens here

When power washing the fence, it's critical to work slowly and methodically, focusing on one picket at a time. Move the rotating nozzle up and down the length of each picket, following the wood grain. Avoid spraying across the grain, as this can create permanent marks that will remain visible even after staining. The goal is to strip away mildew and discoloration, revealing the fresh wood underneath. This process requires patience to achieve an even and damage-free result.

Goal: Effectively strip mildew and discoloration from the fence panels without damaging the wood.
