When should I stain my Redwood fence?
I just installed a redwood fence. I know the boards contain some moisture and I will get some shrinkage. I want to stain the redwood boards. How long should I wait before applying the stain? 1 day 1 week?

With redwood you don’t have to wait any time at all, just make sure that it isn’t going to rain/snow on you right after you apply the stain. And just for good practice, do not use any type of Thompson’s water seal, it will ruin your wood.
Winter is coming! Don’t wait too long. I would give them a couple days of dry weather, then go for it!
