How to Calculate Fence Stain Needed

Step 1: Measure Your Fence

Multiply the height by the total length of your fence to get the square footage. Remember to include both sides if you're painting the entire fence.

Step 2: Determine Coverage

Check your paint or stain can for the coverage per gallon. Typically ranges from 250-350 sq ft per gallon on smooth surfaces.

Step 3: Factor in Multiple Coats

Most projects require 2 coats for optimal protection. New or weathered wood may need additional coats.
