I've got 1200 square feet of cedar fence to stain. Got a quote for $900 from a fence staining company. frick that! I figure I need about 8-9 gallons of stain.
Is a pump sprayer sufficient or should I rent a commercial sprayer?

Nope. No one has ever done that in the history of the world. Good luck, you pioneering fricker, you.

Commercial sprayer but be sure to tell them what you are using it for so they give you the correct nozzle/head. Pump sprayer will look like crap once the stain sets.
And pick a day when the wind is down. My dickhead ex neighbor had to repaint the side of my house because of this.

I stained mine a year or so ago. $900 quote doesn't surprise me at all, as it is gonna take a hell of a lot of stain. Fwiw, the best way to do it is to buy a pump garden sprayer to spray the stain on and then immediately even it out with a brush. They sell a special sprayer at Lowes/HD for about ten bucks. The sprayer that they sell specifically for this is basically disposable and also does not stop up nearly as often as a regular sprayer.
if you have more questions, just ask.

Do you not like the natural,weathered grayish color of cedar? I do...and actually dislike most stained colors on cedar. You don't need to stain cedar for protection like others woods.

pump sprayer. a quality stain will run 150-200 per 5 gallons and mines lasted 7 years so far no problems.
approx 1600 sq ft (8ft by 200) took me an afternoon.
Get a full body disposable painter suit, gloves, full face protection, googles, etc. All cheap at big box or SW/etc

Second renting a commercial paint sprayer. You will do it so much faster.

Pump sprayer and roller is all I used.
A professional sprayer would be faster though.

Use and an airless sprayer and backroll it with a roller. Use an oil based product.

Don't use stain.
Use diesel
It'll last forever. Just don't get caught.
I'm serious. Old farmer I worked with used it. All his wooden fences and shite looked great.

I think you will be surprised at how much stain/dealer you will need.

I did a paint matched stain years ago. Did it with a brush. Took a while but came out real nice. No runs or streaks.

220ft of 6' tall fence took 11 gallons of stain. Took me about 4-5 hours with an electric sprayer

pump spray and then brush it in gallon will do 350 ² feet

I used an electric airless sprayer on part of mine and that damn thing went through stain at an alarming rate. Then I used a good ole paint roller and used half the amount of stain with a better looking result.
