Can this coop be stained ????

it already has a redwood stain on it, so unless you want to re-sand it I would say no. you might be able to paint it but you'll have to experiment with different oil bases to see what would stick.

It is already, but I think it would be wise to coat it in something. We've had ours out in the elements during this terrible winter and it seems to be holding up well, but I think an extra coat of protective stain wouldn't hurt. That is as long as it's not toxic to animals!

Yes, you definitely can. It is a matter of maintenance, I would stain it once a year...

No, the top is not stain proof. It is finished wood. Water, heat , marker, could all stain it.

no, no staining. just keep it clean on outside with stainless steel cleaner. it's kind of a brushed stainless.

I have never done that, but I don't think it would be a problem. I use mine for food storage such as grains, sugar and flour. They are supposed to be okay for anything. I would think it would stain, but I don't see that as a problem.

Karen. I hate to say this but I hate to return this piece of furniture because it was so poorly built. I would say that if you could get it put together you would not be happy with staining it. It's a nice rustic green and I think if you tried to stain it it would end up almost black. You would be better off painting it I would think. Good luck!

Yes, it can be stained all it needs is to be sanded and then stained the color of your choice! Hope this helps!

These are not bare wood, so it would require removing the outer coat of varnish to the bare wood. In order to stain them that would be a bit tedious.

Since we are using it to grow vegetables (greens) we have chosen not to stain it. We do not want to risk the stain leaching into our food.

The wood is finished, so not sure it would take a stain without sanding or taking off the finish.

Same as previous answer. We've had ours installed for about 2 years now. We rinse it out after each use and its not stained

You plane off the barrier. I don't know how stainable depending on saturation of product. Maybe use a leveler before staining. You can call Tim Bor for more detailed answers. Good luck.

It is made of composite and I do not think it could be stained. Hope this helps.

Yes, it can. You have to be careful about wiping the stain as it may dry unevenly even when you think you've wiped it properly. I ended up doing two coats of a dark cherry stain but got the desired finish in terms of color.

It could def be stained, but keep in mind it has a greenish-gray under-hue. Maybe a dark stain?

Yes the wood can be stained. The wood is pine so it isn't the best wood to stain. The rack is very high quality.

Ours has held up quite well with the challenging weather we are just coming through in the Midwest. I applied a coat of sealant (One Time Wood) prior to assembling the coop.
