Protect Your Fence, Deck, and Outdoor Structures
Florida’s sun, humidity, and storms can destroy unprotected wood. If you have fences, decks, or any outdoor wood construction, regular staining is the key to long-lasting beauty and durability.
Why Stain Outdoor Wood in Florida?
Staining protects your wood from:
- ☀️ UV rays that cause fading and graying
- 🌧 Moisture that leads to warping and rot
- 🌿 Mildew and algae common in humid climates
- 🐜 Insects attracted to unsealed wood
Stained wood can last 2–3x longer than untreated wood, saving you on costly repairs or replacements. Learn more from Angi’s staining guide.
Stain vs. Paint for Outdoor Wood
Stain Advantages:
- Enhances natural wood grain
- Penetrates wood, won’t peel like paint
- Easier to maintain and reapply
- Includes UV protection when pigmented
Paint Drawbacks:
- Can crack and trap moisture
- Requires more prep to repaint
- Peels in harsh Florida sun
Want a natural look and long-term value? Choose stain over paint.
What’s the Difference Between Stain and Sealer?
- Sealant: Clear, water-resistant, but no UV protection
- Stain: Adds color and sealing – best of both worlds
💡 In Florida, pigmented stain is the top choice for lasting protection and color retention.
