Best fence stain?

Deck stain can be used to stain a fence, but not every deck stain is appropriate for this purpose. Semi-transparent penetrating deck stains are best for fences because they penetrate the wood to protect it against both moisture and sun. The penetrating nature of these fence stains make it easier to apply so that you can avoid the drips that are inevitable when painting a fence. Semi-transparent penetrating stains are also best for fences because they allow the natural grain of the wood to show through. The best semi-transparent penetrating stains for fences are TWP, Armstrong Clark, and Restore-a-Deck.
