Hi I have a 16x24 pine pressure treated (PT) deck that is brand new that we put up last summer and never stained or did anything to it. Since the deck is 1 year old and never been treated or stained I am wondering what you recommend as the best stain to use? We live in New Jersey.
Can you also tell me if I need to use a cleaner or brightner on deck before I stain?
Please read this:
That link only appears to recommend stain for a deck that DOES NOT wait 12 months - I have waited 12 months so wondering what stain is best for Pine PT deck that was brand new and left to dry for 12 months?
Look at AC or TWP 1500.
