Hi:
Our concerns are more about mold & algae growth along with water protection.
Location- Northern NJ
Screen porch is nearing a year old, pressure treated SYP with cedar posts and wood panelled ceiling that is over a cement patio
Has never been stained or treated, faces north west and is protected on two sides by the house and in a partially shaded area. I'm concerned about proper curing and drying
The stairs are exposed to more sun so would I need to use a different product there?
So we are not exposed to beating sun, nor a lake etc. Armstrong, and Timber oil are not available locally. Sikkens Cetol SRD is at local big box but $$$$. Flood, Cabot, Womans, Thompsons, BJ and SW are readily available
My contractor is going to do the application.
Thanks

~Northeast NJ
~Partial shade
~P.T., S.Y.Pine less than one year old with nothing applied to it
~Covered screen porch with a wood ceiling that also needs to be treated. Sits on pilons over a concrete patio with an uncovered partial sun stair case.
~Priorities/concerns:
algae & mold prevention,
holds up to wear & tear,
and that the stain will dry, "cure" properly since it is covered and attached to the house on 2 sides. Ease of maintenance and future applications
~ not concerned with sun fading, color change etc.
Which are your top three recomendations for this project in a semi-transparent or tinted product?
Thanks
