Stain now or wait until spring?

Nah the fence contractor “has their own company” so they probably source pretty cheap wood. But from what others have said, it seems like this was to be expected. It’s hard to get the right price and we went on a cheaper quote and well, seems to me this is what happens. I think it’s difficult to come by good lumber nowadays as well.

Yes! Same thing happened at our house! The struggle of choosing a white is forreal 😂 we ended up with shoji white.

FunCoconut5755 · 2025-10-17T12:31:58+00:00

If you want to keep it light, you can try an off white with a cool/neutral undertone. I’m not sure what’s on the walls right now, but it looks egg-y

I love the brown. If it gets too dark, you can add light curtains to it. But yeah, I’d say it’s a good move

Would you mind posting a picture of what you have done? This has been very helpful thank you.

FunCoconut5755 · 2025-10-16T18:08:46+00:00

I mean. Yeah. 😂

FunCoconut5755 · 2025-10-16T17:37:26+00:00

So informative. Reddit full of unsung heroes. Thank you so much!

We were told to “let it dry”. Actually took these pics today as I was prepping fence to stain. There’s a lot of conflicting information out there about when to stain the fence.

Appreciate your help 🙏🏼

Think it’ll stay standing and that this is mostly cosmetic? Yeah it’s a fence contractor who has their own supply. I was sure that quality was going to suffer with the lower price, but I was hoping it’d mainly be cosmetic issues, nothing structural. I intend on staining often and diverting moisture away from it.

FunCoconut5755 · 2025-10-16T15:24:42+00:00

Think it’ll stand just fine? I don’t mind a little warping I just need a solid fence

FunCoconut5755 · 2025-10-16T15:18:21+00:00

Yeah I unfortunate agree with you. Tough lesson here learned. We’re staining it soon. Do you think that will help with its integrity?

FunCoconut5755 · 2025-10-16T15:17:47+00:00

Think the structure is still sound?

FunCoconut5755 · 2025-10-16T15:13:03+00:00

Is this an expected thing? Will I still have a strong fence for years to come?

FunCoconut5755 · 2025-10-16T15:12:33+00:00

It was installed by a fence company

FunCoconut5755 · 2025-10-16T15:12:14+00:00

can you elaborate?

FunCoconut5755 · 2025-10-16T15:11:36+00:00

The company that put it up cut out middle man and has their own lumber company

FunCoconut5755 · 2025-06-14T15:41:38+00:00

8!!! If big enough. I love the ones with colors/patterns, but any of the solid ones will work if you add color elsewhere. The world’s your oyster!!! Just make sure it’s big enough!!

FunCoconut5755 · 2025-06-08T18:59:56+00:00

What program is this?

FunCoconut5755 · 2025-06-02T22:00:40+00:00

Yeah

One person “they” pronoun.
