Hi guys,
I just built a new pine deck. It is 3 weeks in place, and gets mostly full sun and partial shade part of the day.
Knowing next to nothing about treatment of a deck, my questions are:
How long to wait until I can start staining the deck?
Do I need a cleaner/brightener?
And of course; what brand of stain do you recommend? (I'd prefer a "greener" stain, unless an oil based stain offers significant advantages)
Thanks much.
Depends on the brand of stain that you choose as to how long you should wait to stain. In general you should wait 1-2 months then clean and brighten to prep.
As for a "green" stain, I would look at the Defy Stains.
