Fence Sandblasting?


I have 475' lf of 2 year old wood fencing with peeling stain to sandblast (both sides). The owners wife decided to have someone stain over a pre-sealed fence they bought to match the house trim color. Any suggestions on pricing and or alternative methods to bring this back to its original state. Replacement cost of the fence restained is 20K.

Sandblasting will damage the surface. Not a real good idea. Soda blasting is very slow but safe to use. Corn cob blasting is a little less agressive than sand but will mark the wood. Maybe sub it out to a media blasting pro or a deck cleaning pro. Good luck.

...sandblasting wood fencing would not be a good idea

It needs to come back to it's original state of "pre-sealed fence"?

Soda is slow if you are using a no name pot with a small nozzle and no metering valve.


I have a 210 CFM compressor, use a no 4 or 5 nozzle... im pretty sure i could blast it pretty quick.
