I recently installed a new Redwood deck. I want to stain and seal it as soon as it is recommended to do so. I see in many answers listed on the forum it is advised that you wait 1 to 12 months prior to the first stain. I am concerned that my dog will pee and soil the deck prior to sealing it. What is everyones opinion?
The dog pee will harm the wood or stain no matter what. The finish will not protect from this.
