Long Grove has a historic downtown surrounded by acre lots and estate homes, and that shapes how we approach pergola & gazebo staining here. In practice that means long cedar and split-rail fences on large lots.
Long Grove is in western Lake County. The established trees that make the yards nice also keep decks and fences shaded, and shaded wood needs a thorough chemical clean before it will take stain evenly.
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.
