Expert Posts: 1286 Location: Mississippi	We built a wood fence last fall and would like to make it dark brown/black. Would stain or paint work best? Any brand suggestions as to what may last longest? Edited by turtleaut 2014-09-06 6:42 PM

Really really dark to begin with but it will lighten some as it dries. I'll try to take a pic and post it.

Ima Fickle Fan Posts: 3547 Location: Texas	We bought ours pre-soaked in creosote for the new fence we put up this spring. Sure beats painting. We stained the other existing fence to match. Lasts longer than paint.

It will stop them for a while but eventually the taste will be gone. I'm not sure just regular boards you would get from a hardware store.

Knowledge is Power Posts: 4051 Location: wherever my daughter's running	We have wooden fence and I painted it - not at all thrilled with it. Neighbors down the road have wooden fence and put used motor oil on theirs and it looks fantastic and has been up for years. Really kicking myself.
