What to do with the number
Two-sided fences, rough lumber and spray application can consume more stain than a flat one-sided area estimate. Make sure the entered area includes every side you intend to coat.
Planning estimate
Use this result as a starting point, not a guarantee. Product specifications, site conditions, manufacturer guidance, local codes, taxes, labor, tolerances, and rounding can change the real requirement or cost.
