I used the 5-Minute Fence Stain a couple years back. I thought it was real easy to apply. I was a little disappointed they didn't have a larger color selection, I think they only had the Natural Cedar at the time. I think it will be 3 years in June or July and the fence still looks great.
Post some pics as I'm sure many here would like to see how it looks.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Five-minute-fence-stain-20234131 Thu, 27 Mar 2008 11:41:23 EDT Re: Five minute fence stain http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Five-minute-fence-stain-20232092 said by sailor:

If any of those lumber yards that they list as retailers in your state are near you I would go talk to them about it..How have sales been of the product, pics or recommendations of local people who bought and applied it, etc..
Nice idea. If it works and people are happy with the outcome it aparrently works well. If you do decide to use it I would like to hear your critique.

First off, I would look into what the ingredients are? Attached to a garden hose would mean that most of the product ends up in your ground water. We don't need anymore chemicals in our ground water. Unless it's 100% organic it should be taken off the market and it's marketers be held responsible along with the developer.
Granted, that's a valid concern.

But how does that differ from spraying any other type of product onto a fence or deck or house siding? Are there environmentally sound protocols for this type of usage?
Because it is hooked up to a garden hose, you can't control the over-spray.

I used the Wagner sprayer once too. Never again!

Water is one of the things you're trying to keep out of the wood. Doesn't make sense, to me, to spray water onto the surface to apply color to it. It may be quick and easy, but the sealing ability of the stain is what I question. There are many water-based fence stains on the market. I think this product just mixes the pigment with water at the sprayer instead of at the factory.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Five-minute-fence-stain-20212204 Sun, 23 Mar 2008 12:41:58 EDT Re: Five minute fence stain http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Five-minute-fence-stain-20211878 --

It's a "pay me now or pay me later" deal.

FYI, when I stained my 500' fence I bought a Wagner sprayer for the job and hated it. A total mess and did not cover worth a damn. At the time I was told by several people I respect that to do a fence fast and reasonably well I should buy or rent an air compressor and gun.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Five-minute-fence-stain-20211791 Sun, 23 Mar 2008 11:15:22 EDT Re: Five minute fence stain http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Five-minute-fence-stain-20210645 said by dolphins:

I was able to stain the deck really fast, with very little overspray. The garden hose method makes me think you are going to be putting a lot of the product on the ground. Possibly getting it all over plants and grass.

Seems like a quick and easy way to get a fence looking good again.

Has anyone tried this and how did it work for you? TIA!
