How to Stain Cypress Posts
- 1). Install the post in the ground and reinforce it with either dirt or concrete.
- 2). Apply wood stain to the majority of the cypress post using a paint roller. Wipe the stain with a rag so you don't get drip marks. Use a stain that's waterproof with UV and mildew protection.
- 3). Touch up the stain in smaller areas, such as around the ground, with a paintbrush. Wipe any drips with a rag.
- 4). Allow the wood stain to dry. Apply another coat or two if you're not happy with the color of the first coat.
