A good fence will last you decades....is it that important to save a few hours now?

Old stain looks almost just as bad. Washed out and faded. There's no such thing as stain and forget it. Re-staining will eventually be required..
Also why is that some people here feel that you can't spray on stain? Not sure if you can or cannot.. don't know why it wouldn't be possible though.
Edit: I guess you can.

You can apply stain in several different ways: brushing, rolling, wiping and spraying; however, the quickest of all the possibilities is spraying. The procedure will require some additional prep work in order to prepare the spray gun, but when the sprayer is ready, you will work circles around those who choose to brush, roll, or wipe their stains on. The average do-it-yourself homeowner can spray on stain with little difficulty, and, depending on the size of the project, in less than six hours.
