Estimating Stain

When calculating the correct amount, remember that stain is different than paint. For estimating purposes plan on approximately one gallon of stain to cover 200 sq. ft. (as opposed to 400 sq. ft. for paint). In addition, rougher surfaces will require more stain than smooth ones. Bare wood needs more than a re-stained surface. Know your surface measurements when you go shopping and read the label for the manufacturer's recommendations.
