Curing Stained Lumber and Fence Installation

What happens here

After the lumber has been stained, it is typically 'up-stacked' (stacked with spacers for airflow) for about an hour, and then 'down-stacked' (restacked without spacers) into a compact bunk. This stacking process allows the non-drying oil stain to further penetrate and self-level, ensuring a uniform and durable finish. The video concludes with a time-lapse showing fence installers constructing the fence using the pre-stained lumber a couple of days later, demonstrating the efficient workflow this pre-staining method provides. Before-and-after comparisons highlight the transformation from untreated wood to a beautifully finished fence.

Goal: Allow stain to penetrate and install the pre-stained fence efficiently.
