New Boat House & deck...confused

I would go with TWP for the horizontals and Flood Solid Stain or Cabot Solid Stain for the verticals. See this article about doing a two toned deck which would be similar:

Would love to see the finished product!

Thanks...any suggestions on the white paint?

Also, if i purchased the wood and let dry in my warehouse for 30 days, would it be safe to stain with TWP after dock is built within another 30 days?

Mike, you do not want a paint per say but a solid color decking stain. Flood Solid Stain or Cabot Solid Stain for the verticals.

No on the TWP. It needs to weather outside in the elements for 4-12 months and then prepped first before staining.

thanks! I guess I am confused. the deck will be stained / treated with TWP. However the vertical beams, beadboard, rafters, trim, etc...I have seen many nice boat houses/docks with actual paint. If there is a white decking stain, which do you recommend?

ok, i see the cabot solid stain now. So can I apply the solid white stain immediately or should I wait also ?? thank you again

Best to follow the directions of the stain brand manufacturer on new wood. I am not sure what Flood and Cabot suggest.
