    Looking good! I think the last time I stained my fence I loaded up my weed sprayer and went to town....

    I wouldn't paint that fence, that wood is too pretty to cover up , I'd go with a deck sealer/ stain like Thompson's or Olympic. Just my 2 cents nice job :)

    Clear coat will be what I do in the long run most likely. That particular section of fence will be replaced first I'm the grand scheme of things. The pressure washing was to bring some life back till I stop buying saws :rolleyes:. Then perhaps I can afford some new power tools for fence installation.:rofl: :lol:

    After seeing what you did on your fence, I think I'll drive my washer at our deck. Looks as tho it'll clean it off pretty well. The deck had some kind of colored varnish/poly on it and it's flaking. If the washer works, looks as tho it'll save a lot of work. Glad you posted Slim!
