Stained Cedar-tone Fir Pickets: Featured Product

Fir is a hardy, cost-effective material that is perfect for wooden fencing. America’s Fence Store has Stained Cedar-tone Fir Pickets that will give you the impressive strength and color you’re looking for in a fence. Fir holds nails and screws well without cracking and is resistant to warping and bending. The stain on these pickets not only looks seamless and beautiful, but also acts as a sealant to protect the wood from insects and decay.

When it comes to convenience and ease, it’s hard to beat a pre-stained picket. No one can tell you how truly valuable a pre-stained picket is like an ambitious do-it-yourselfer who tried to stain their own fence. It’s not until you’ve struggled and failed to stain it on your own that you understand the value of having it stained correctly by a professional beforehand.

Pre-stained vs. DIY Staining

Our 5/8” x 5-1/2” x 6’ Stained Cedar-Tone Fir pickets come from a mill, a place where they know the wood best. Mills use mechanical means to perfectly stain and coat these pickets in the most optimal conditions. If you wanted to stain your fence yourself at home, you’d have to wait for a day with a consistent temperature that’s warm, but not too warm, plenty of sun, absolutely no chance for rain and no wind. If you don’t meet these conditions, your stain may not go on correctly and could start to peel after a few years or even a few days.

Most wood pickets are rough, making it very difficult to roll or brush stain on. For DIY staining, a sprayer would your best option, but it would also the messiest. With the slightest breeze, you could get spray all over the place. This could include your lawn, your car, your siding, or worst of all, your neighbor’s property.

America’s Fence Store’s Stained Cedar-tone Fir pickets also have the advantage of complete and uniform coverage. If your fence is already installed and you try to stain it, you’re not going to be able to reach everywhere. Anywhere underneath or between fixtures or boards will be difficult or even impossible to reach. This will leave your stain inconsistent and be displeasing to the eye.

If you’re afraid you will need to cut your pre-stained picket and that it will leave a mark, don’t worry. We carry stain on hand for any touch-ups you may need.
