Ok we just had a new porch built and we tried benjamin moore arborcoat transparent teak and loved it and then the guy that built it said he didn't recommend a water based stain. Does anyone have a suggestion for an oil based stain that will look like this on pressure treated pine?

See this about new wood first:

Maybe Chestnut color by Armstrong Clark Stains:

Thanks! We would prefer something we can buy in person. Do you know of an Olympic color that would match? I can’t get samples in transparent colors. Or ready seal?

also does that article mean I can safely stain this porch in July if it was built in April?

if we go with a transparent armstrong it could be good in 2-3 months? that's june or july. it makes a big difference as I didn't want to go all summer with it like this but going til june or july is a much easier wait!
