Should I stain or paint my fence?
Stain for 90% of fences. It penetrates, lets the wood breathe, and ages better than paint. Paint is a better choice only if the wood is already painted or in rough shape, stain won't cover a bad board but paint will hide it. Once you paint, you're committed, you can't go back to stain without stripping.
Solid vs semi-transparent stain?
Semi-transparent shows the wood grain, best on newer, good-looking wood. Solid hides the grain and looks more like paint, best on weathered or mismatched wood. Semi-solid is in between: some grain visible, more color coverage. Ask to see samples on your actual wood before committing.
