Benjamin Moore’s Woodluxe™ Solid Hide Stain: The Durable Choice for Horse Farm Fencing

If you manage a working horse farm—whether it's a thoroughbred operation prepping forSaratoga Race Course or a hunter-jumper barn focused on competition—keeping your fencing, barns, and outbuildings protected and presentable is critical. That’s whereBenjamin Moore’s Woodluxe™ Solid Hide Stain comes in.

Formerly known asArborcoat, this product has been rebranded, but thetrusted formula remains the same. AtColorize, your Benjamin Moore paint and stain experts inClifton Park, Niskayuna, Troy, and Queensbury, we recommend Woodluxe™ Solid Hide Stain to horse farm owners looking for professional results with long-term durability.

Why Woodluxe™ Solid Hide Stain Is Perfect for Equestrian Properties

1. No Primer Required

Woodluxe™ is a solid hide stain that eliminates the need for priming. It adheres directly to exterior wood surfaces, making it a practical and time-saving option for large projects like fencing and barn siding.

2. Built to Withstand Harsh Conditions

Horse farms deal with intense exposure—sun, rain, mud, wind, and everyday wear from horses and equipment.Benjamin Moore’s Woodluxe™ Solid Hide Stain is designed to hold up under these conditions, resisting peeling, cracking, and fading over time.

3. Solid, Opaque Finish with Long-Term Flexibility

The finish mimics the look of paint, offering rich, uniform color while allowing the wood to breathe. This is especially important on wood structures like run-in sheds and outbuildings where moisture can accumulate. The breathable stain helps reduce the risk of moisture damage and ensures more even weathering.

4. Available in Farm-Friendly Colors

Woodluxe™ can be tinted intothousands of Benjamin Moore colors, but for horse farms, two options continue to stand out:

  • Classic White – a clean, traditional finish that enhances visibility and reflects heat
  • Oxford Brown – a deep black-brown popular on fencing and barns for a professional, understated look

These colors have long been staples on farms throughout the region.

  • Paddock and perimeter fencing

  • Run-in sheds
