                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I am in the process of redoing my deck whish located in Vancouver, BC.  We get a lot of rain here and the rain and dampness has caused the Behr paint to lift and peel from the PT wood decking.  To add to the problem, it is a low lying deck (maybe 2 feet) so the water under the deck gets as water vapor during spring time causing the PT boards to remain damp for an extended period of time.  I sanded the deck this weekend and removed about 90 -95&#37; of the Behr acrylic paint. I am looking stain my deck and was wondering if I could some help with the following questions:<br />
	<br />
	1. Would Defy semi-transparent stain work for my low lying deck or is there a better alternative?  Maybe something that allows the wood to breadth?<br />
	<br />
	2. I am leaning towards Defy semi-transparent because it comes in gray because the sides of my deck and my window trim are painted cape code gray.  Are there alternative recommended stains that come in gray?<br />
	<br />
	3. Given that my deck was previously painted, would I get better visual product with a semi-solid stain especially since it is a older deck?<br />
	<br />
	Thanks<br />
