    I disagree about the sprayer option but to each their own. I’d roll the outer side and the main part of the inside and use an electric sprayer to cover the joints/posts and horizontal runners. You’ll need a lot more than a gallon for both sides of that fence. I’m sure there’s an online calculator out there somewhere. Know that if you get 5gallon tubs of stain to save money and don’t finish it off, it has a very short shelf life after being opened. And do NOT get a solid stain. Talk about a PITA.

    Plan on doing it very few years if you’re going to keep the house.

    I was thinking either transparent stain or just clear sealer, like Thompson’s WaterSeal or something. I don’t mind the color of the fence now. You think something like this would work? https://www.lowes.com/pd/Thompson-s...ofer-Actual-Net-Contents-128-fl-oz/1000183857
    Or would that still have horrible discoloration like @CowboyTaco was talking about? I noticed it says “allows wood to gray naturally while being waterproof” or whatever.

    All my rigs are purpose built. From crawling to camping. I also enjoy a nice stock truck for what that’s worth. Toyota’s are the jam!
    Throw a cup of water on the pressure treated fence. If it beads off, it ain’t ready for the stain. Rain and sun will help leach the coating, takes 1-3months. Depending on how wet ya wood is...That’s what she said!!!

    For whatever reason, your link is broken. I’d recommend doing a light colored 100% transparent stain. Mud splashing from rain and/or the dog lifting his leg will eventually discolor it. The clear stuff is tough to apply with 100% coverage and that one missed spot will forever stand out.

    Huh, strange, maybe I accidentally cut off the last character or something. I’ve fixed the original post now.

    That’s a good point though, a light color would be easier to see when applying.

    Yes, both sides if possible. If not, one side is better than no sides.

    Hashcock has a better ring to it.

    Don't use Thompsons. My understanding is that is more like an apply every year sort of stain. We've used Behr on all of our fences and have been pleased with it.

    You basically have Transparent, Semi-Transparent, and Solid stain. Transparent shows the most natural wood grain and Solid is basically paint.

    Here's the Transparent: https://www.homedepot.com/p/BEHR-PR...proofing-Exterior-Wood-Finish-50001/301060429

    Notice it suggests that it will last 4 years on a deck and 6 years on a fence.

    If it were me, I'd go with at least a Semi-Transparent like this one: https://www.homedepot.com/p/BEHR-PR...terior-Wood-Stain-and-Sealer-553301/202263889.

    6 years on deck and 8 years on a fence.

    This solid one suggests 10 years on a deck and 25 years on a fence: https://www.homedepot.com/p/BEHR-PR...terior-Wood-Stain-and-Sealer-501101/203223471

    As @Marcmtb1 said, you will definitely need more than a gallon.

    It's not cheap to stain a fence properly, but you will either be very glad that you did or pissed that you didn't. I can almost guarantee that.

    My whole-hearted recommendation is to go with a semi-transparent stain. It's a good mix between showing the wood grain and offering better protection. Plus, you can get it in a natural wood color. Since it isn't transparent, you'll be able to better make sure that you are getting it on evenly.

    As to your question about the side with the horizontal support boards, you'll need a brush to get those. This type of job is 100% better with a partner. One person to roll the big areas and someone with a wide brush to hit the areas the roller won't touch. Also, don't forget the tops of the boards where the sun and rain will hit and can seep in.

    GA Tech had a group that rolls out. Also you could connect with my old crew up at High Country Outfitters, there are boaters up there...used to be when I worked there decades ago.

    Too many to list. I’m lazy
    Wasn’t me. Truck has been in the garage all day today. And my wheels are blue. I’m pretty sure you may have seen Corey G. He’s my local twin.

    I think it was him, I looked up a pic of yours and it was close but not quite. I'll check IG as I've seen a Corey G there but don't think I have on here
