Pre-staining gives you a completely customized, beautiful wood fence from day one, with enhanced weather protection.
The question we hear all the time is, "Should I stain my fence now or wait?" We always recommend pre-staining, and once you understand the difference, it's easy to see why.
When a fence is stained before installation, every board is fully coated on all sides, including the ends and edges. That coverage matters because moisture and sun exposure do not just hit the front of your fence — they affect every inch of your fence. That's why we offer the best products, like Expert Stain & Seal, to fully seal your new fence from day one.

Expert Stain & Seal's wide range of colors makes it easy to customize your wood fence.
Pre-staining doesn't just enhance the look of your fence. It protects it against sun exposure, moisture, and pests.
Pre-staining covers every part of your fence, including those areas that are hidden after it's installed. With this technique, you get a fence that's better protected over the years.
Enhanced durability from Expert Stain & Seal's specialized formula gives your fence triple-threat protection against sun, moisture, and everyday wear that can break down wood over time.
The strong, long-lasting color is fade-resistant and wears evenly over time, so your fence remains an attractive and welcome part of your yard between treatments.
You don't have to pre-stain a fence in West Metro Minnesota, but it does help increase its lifespan and durability. Your wood fence faces moisture, temperature fluctuations, and sun exposure year-round. Pre-staining helps protect the wood from the start, and it reduces your maintenance needs.
Pre-staining gives your fence added protection and helps prevent rot and decay, so your fence lasts longer. This is because pre-staining allows us to coat every part of the fence, including the ones you can't access once the posts, rails, and pickets are in place.
At Shed & Fence Company, we use Expert Stain & Seal products because they are designed specifically for fence protection. We offer high-quality finishes that enhance both durability and appearance.
We aim for a consistent, even finish, but natural wood can absorb stain differently depending on grain and moisture levels in West Metro Minnesota. That said, pre-staining provides a much more uniform look than post-installation staining.
A pre-stained fence typically lasts longer because it is protected from day one. While wood fences always require some upkeep, pre-staining helps extend the life of your investment and reduces early wear.
Absolutely. Shed & Fence Company offers a variety of Expert Stain & Seal color options so you can match your fence to your home and property style while still getting long-term protection.
