I finished the deck last May. Over the course of the past year, the stain has worn off not only in the places where there is heavy foot traffic (I do have a dog as well), but also on many of the railings. I made sure there was clear, dry weather for at least 3 days leading up to the day that I did the staining, and there were at least 2 days of dry weather afterward.

I'm wondering if I didn't use the right product, or if something else may be going on?

I'd be happy for any feedback that might help, as well as recommendations as to what I should do now. I'd rather not have to sand down the whole deck and railing (it's about 450 square feet, and it has a pre-fabricated cedar railing system).

I've attached some images in case that's helpful.
