Deck Staining Options

Clear Sealer: Easy to apply, affordable, but it only last 1-2 years. We recommend this on brand new projects after the wood has cured.

Semi Transparent Stain: We recommend using an oil based version. This product gives you the natural wood color and offers 2-3 years of protection. The two negatives are that is shows the imperfections of the wood if you have an older deck and it is harder to apply for a homeowner.

Solid Stain: If you want the most long-lasting product then solid stain is the way to go. Easy to apply, covers well and last 3-4 years. The negative is it looks like paint and covers the wood grain. You lose the natural wood look.
