	<br />
	A little about my deck: 11x18, covered porch, Lowes (5/4, PT)new decking, may 2013. <br />
	<br />
	Locally I have sherman williams, lowes, home depot to buy from. <br />
	<br />
	I would like to pressure wash, wait a few days then stain. <br />
	<br />
	Any suggestions/ thoughts on stain and this process? <br />
	<br />
	Thanks in advance.]]></content:encoded>
