Pre-staining protects your fence from day one. Raw wood absorbs moisture quickly, especially at the bottom edges and cut ends, which leads to warping, rot, mildew, cracking, and early fading. Pre-staining seals the boards before those issues start, helping your fence last longer and look better over time.
Good Shepherd Fence Company factory pre-stains every board before installation, coating all six sides. That includes the front, back, top, bottom, edges, and cut ends. Once a fence is installed, this level of coverage is no longer possible. Full encapsulation is one of the biggest reasons pre-stained fences outperform raw wood fences long term. Our pre-stain services ensure your fence is built to thrive in Indianapolis, IN weather.
