I just had a cedar board on board fence installed about 8 weeks ago and want
to stain it. I'm using Olympic "Maximum" purchased from Lowes. I started
using the hand-pump sprayer, but it was a pain in the arse. I tried using
my Power Painter. Although the results where good, I was spending all my
time refilling the quart container.
Two Questions:
1) I was considering the Wagner Paint Crew airless sprayer: Any thoughts
on this unit.
2) My fence on the side is 9 feet away from my house and 7 feet away from my
neighbors. If I use a sprayer, invariably there will be overspray.
Other than covering everything up, is there any other alternatives ?
Can anyone provide a link to any "how-to" articles on this topic
Thank you

I did mine a few years ago. But was *told* it was best to wait a season
before staining. In any event...
My Wagner Power Painter came with a hose attachment that I stuck right into
the 5gal drum of stain/sealant I bought from Home Depot.

My overspray was minimal with the Wagner. But I went the tarp route. When
the Pro's came around to stain 3 miles of exterior fence around the
neighborhood, they used tarps too.
