Not their log siding version. Many people use Sikkens for log siding and have good results. Doesn't work that great for decks in our experience.

We are not fans of solid stains so we do not review or use many. The Flood Solid Stains are our go to if ever needed.

Update to the last comment.

2-3 years is the max for a deck. Vertical siding will last 4-7 years.

You could cover the Sikkens with a solid color stain but you will be prone to peeling.

Nothing lasts more than 3 years. 2-3 is the max and that is why we suggest brands like these:

That can be cleaned and reapplied easily.
