best stain for decks 3 Years, 11 Months ago Karma: 1
I started redoing decks for my customers about 2 years ago. I cuurently use either Behr or Sherwin Williams. I have not been satisfied at all especially the Behr. What is the best product out there or are they all the same?

Try to refrain from using the "B___" word on the forum as it sends chills down our spines. As far as what is best, everyone will have their own opinion. You want an oil based sealer that will penetrate, cover evenly without lap marks, retain its color, prohibit mold growth, last the customer as long as possible, and be fairly easy to remove for maintenance. My personal favorite at this time is TWP 100 SERIES CEDARTONE. As far as sherwin, their solid stain "deckscapes" is good for "painting" a deck which we really dont recommend unless the deck is a complete eyesore.

Chris is correct. The better it penetrates that better it will perform. While there isn't a particular stain that is substanially better, there is a lot of high quality stains. Some of the more popular are found here:

Deck Stains

Contractors really like the Wood Tux deck stain since it can be applied to wet surface but is an oil based product.

Behr being a water base has issues with penetration, application, performance, and removal.

Problem is that I am in an area where deck stains are limited. I tried finding the TWP but it wasn't available at Depot or Menards. Any suggestion where I could find it locally or should I just order online?

Right on, SealerGuy.

My hubby used that one before and it's no good. Now, we have to have it redone. Thanks for the advise, I knew better now and will tell hubby to try TWP 100 SERIES CEDARTONE.
