                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Hello, new wood has to be weathered and prepped first. It also needs a light coat after 12-18 months. This is normal for all brands as new wood does not absorb a high volume of stain into the wood. If you want to switch, use the RAD stripper kits and remove any remaining Defy. Try the Armstrong Clark in a semi-solid color since you have a high UV index.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[We built a new deck in 2014 and stained it with Defy extreme in October of that year, by spring of this year, 14 months later.  90&#37; of the stain has peeled off the deck floor.  We meticulously prepped with RAD according to the instructions on this site and then did the staining.  <br />
	<br />
	We are in Idaho and the deck has full sun until mid/late afternoon.<br />
	<br />
	What would be options that would last longer than a year?<br />
