Most of our pergola & gazebo staining calls in Kildeer come from homes with large wooded lots and estate-style homes. That means shaded structures that mildew, which changes the prep more than the stain.
In western Lake County, where Kildeer sits, the variable is shade. Sunny decks gray and dry out; shaded ones stay green. We treat each side of the same deck accordingly.
A pergola sprayed from the ground looks fine from the ground. Look up from the patio underneath and every rafter has a dry stripe where the spray did not reach, and every end grain is unsealed. We get on ladders and stain the tops, sides and ends of every member. It takes longer. It is also why the finish lasts.
