Why a Pre-Stained fence might be the best decision you make for your yard
You never get a second chance to make a first impression — and your fence is often the first thing people notice about your home.
Before anyone sets foot on your porch or rings your doorbell, your fence is already doing the talking.
What’s it saying?
Is it whispering, “Welcome to a well-loved home,” or mumbling something more along the lines of, “I’ve seen better days”?
If you’re planning to upgrade your fencing in Acadiana, here’s a secret weapon that saves time, reduces stress, and boosts curb appeal:
✅ A pre-stained wood fence from Basin Fence.
Let’s break down why pre-stained fences are the smarter choice for your property.

🎨 What You See Is What You Get
Ever picked a paint color, only to watch it dry two shades darker — or worse, with a weird undertone you didn’t expect?
Staining raw wood after installation can be just as unpredictable.
With a pre-stained fence from Basin Fence, the stain is applied under controlled conditions and fully dried before it ever hits your yard.
That means:
✅ No surprises
✅ No color regrets
✅ The exact tone you chose — perfectly matched to your home’s style — from day one.
✅ Pro Tip: Always check real wood samples in daylight before finalizing your fence stain color!
🛠️ Skip the Weekend Project (and the Mess)

Time-consuming
Messy
Totally unpredictable (especially with Acadiana’s crazy weather)

No tarps
No brushes

☔ Protection Where It Counts
You might be surprised how many hidden spots on a fence are vulnerable to moisture damage — especially where boards meet or overlap.
When you stain after installation, it’s nearly impossible to coat every nook and cranny.
✅ Pre-stained fences are dipped and treated to guarantee full 360° coverage before installation.
That means:
Better resistance to rot, warping, cracking, and sun damage.
Less maintenance over the years.
A fence that stays stronger and better-looking longer.
