How to Stain cypress columns on your home. I hope this video is helpful with your project. I used 38 grit sandpaper to remove old sealer that was peeling. I also used SW 3512 Cider Mill exterior semi transparent stain from Sherwin Williams. They were very helpful in answering my questions. Thank you guys for watching my video on stained cypress posts.

Looks awesome, I was set on cedar for my home but it would take 3 weeks for my local lumber yard to get some, after watching your vid I am now going with cypress which they have on hand

@@TheDoucets Nothing as significant as yours. We're building a plant stand for one of my 40-year-old staghorn ferns. It's current metal stand (an old clothes rack LOL 😂) is bowing and leaning. This thing weighs about 300 lbs, so we should have upgraded to 4x4s a long time ago. Anyway, I did a search for staining them and yours was the first video! Unfortunately, I had already purchased Cherry stain before the lockdown, so it's not going to be as gorgeous as your result, but thanks for the tips and inspiration. All the best to you and your family! Stay safe!

Sc-142 Sail cloth is the outside color. I think Benjamin Moore paint. I suggest getting a couple samples, paint a couple squares next to each other. That's how we decided. Sorry just getting to your comment, I had to find the extra paint can in the garage. 😀

I'm not sure. You will probably need to ask Sherwin Williams or maybe online research. I didn't stain mine till after we were here a couple years and they started to look bad. I will admit I was excited to see someone local watched my video. It put a smile on my face. 😃

I just stained it. However thats been a few months ago. I do need to touch it up because some old sealer bleed through. You could seal it. I dont think it would hurt it. My house faces north so its not direct sunlight. How about yours? Whats your project?
