I'm staining a new deck made of red cedar that will be completed in 3 weeks. All told the lumber is about 6-8 weeks old since delivery from the lumber yard. I need to know if I can stain it as soon as it's done or if I need to wait a while (and if I do, how long should I wait).
Also, what brand stain would you recommend and how many coats? And does a new deck really need to be cleaned or can I just simply hose it off?
Deck Details:
1. Minneapolis, MN (Northwest facing deck)
2. Half the deck gets full sun in the mid-afternoon and early evening hours; the other half is a screened in deck/porch so it's completely covered with a roof.
3. Red Cedar
4. No mold or mildew issues

Anyone? Just need to know if I can start staining immediately or if I should wait. I've narrowed my choices to Armstrong or Timber Oil but not sure which one is best for a new deck.
