Paint Fences of Wood
When homeowners install a fence in their yard it is either for security, privacy, aesthetics, or a combination of all of the above. Most residential fences made for privacy are made of wood. Wood is also used for aesthetics on picket fences and split rail farm fences. Metal fences come in wrought iron, aluminum, and steel. Wrought iron is commonly used for decorative ornate hand rails and to define an entrance.
If your fence is made of wood it will require maintenance. Wood fences require stain or paint to preserve the wood and protect moisture from rain and wind to enter the grain and cause rot and decay. The hot beating sun will also cause wood to warp and fade. Over time a wood fence will lose any aesthetic value it once had if not properly maintained. You must paint fences made of wood.
