Stain the sides. Yes, stain not paint. Stain will seep into the wood and not peel and crack overtime. I used BEHR House & Fence Wood Stain and added a color to it. There is actually a wide variety of colors to choose from.
You can choose to do this step after you finish building the ramp but if you want to completely coat each side, now is the time do it.
Tools needed for this step:
- Paint Roller & Tray
- Paint Brush
- 2 - Gallons House and Wood Stain = $23.98ea.
