The inevitable day arrived...fence and deck staining day. We just couldn't put it off any longer. Areas of the fresh wood were starting to grey. And of course we chose to start it in the afternoon on a very hot weekend.
We agreed on a redwood color. I wanted more of a natural cedar and he wanted a darker reddish tone. So we met in the middle and I think it looks great, doesn't add too much more red to the red accents already on & around the outside of our house.
And my picky husband actually let me stain 3/4ths of one long side!
Now to enjoy the rest of summer on the deck with lots of bbq'ing. And note to selves: re-stain in cool spring weather next year!
