About this calculator

Estimate the total cost to stain a fence, including stain, supplies, and optional labor, based on fence length, height, and number of coats.

How much stain do I need per coat?

Most stains cover 100-300 sq ft per gallon depending on wood porosity and application method. Check your product label for exact coverage.

Should I apply more than one coat?

Two coats are typical for new or bare wood, while one coat may suffice for maintenance staining on previously treated fences.

Does this include fence repair costs?

No, this calculator only covers staining materials and optional labor, not repairs or replacement of damaged boards.
