A:  I can give you part of an answer. I used the cleaner to clean a 20 year old wooden deck made from Mangaris. I was surprised at the transformation. My old deck looked great. I applied the cleaner, let it set a few minutes, then scrubbed with stiff bristle brush ( 240 sqft-10minutes), and then rinsed. I was dealing with years of foot traffic. I'd guess that it would do nicely on a fence.
