Cedar pickets and staining
I am replacing all the pickets on my wood gate; they haven’t been touched since I bought the house, and was in poor shape since then (6 years ago). I bought cedar pickets (fence boards), grade 1, and am tempted to use “Sherwin Williams WoodScapes Rain Refresh Exterior House Stain with Self-Cleaning Technology” with a white base, to match the garage doors.
I realize after doing a lot of reading that most people are against covering the natural cedar with anything but a clear stain, but aesthetically for this part of the property, a matching white fence would be nice.
I guess I am looking for advice if the Sherwin Williams stain above will be fine.
