The fence was new in 2021 - and is already fading, sun-bleached, headed for grey, and water-marked.   The baseball bat was new in 1974, but still looks great (I know,  I have one from '74 - Astros vs Rangers in the Astrodome).    Why so?   The fence was unprotected against UV and water soak, while the bat has been in the closet for 48 years - no sunlight no rain.  The moral is that wood left outdoors needs to be protected to retain its natural wood beauty - and that is we do - MiracleFenceWorks.com
