What happens here

Once all sections are power washed, stand back from the fence and rinse the entire panel. This step helps to wash away any remaining debris or loose wood fibers. The presenter emphasizes going slow and getting close enough to strip the wood effectively but not so close as to damage it. For rinsing, standing further back and moving the spray across the panel (as opposed to stripping, which is picket by picket) is acceptable to avoid cross-marks, as you are no longer trying to strip but simply rinse.

Goal: Ensure the fence is completely clean and free of loose material, ready for staining.

What they say

Hide

You can see in power washing that panel, I get really close and go really slow to actually strip off, you know, some of the wood um the old wood grade wood on the fence. You don't want to get too close that you actually damage the fence itself. But you got to get close up close enough and go slow enough to strip the wood. And then once I was done with the panel, you got to stand back and just rinse it off. But if and I was going crossways rinsing it off, but I was standing back pretty far, so I wasn't going to make any cross marks in the panel. That's how you do the power washing to get your fence prepped and ready
