We keep an outdoor rug over the dogs path on the deck.

Lots of rain, lots of shade, but several hours a day of hot GA sun.

Suggestion?

Thanks,
Joe

TWP Stains
Defy Extreme

Both are excellent at retaining color. The darker the color the longer it takes to fade. In our honest opinion it is difficult to get a stain to last 3 years on a floor surface. Verticals yes but horizontals, probably not. 2 years is normal for a high quality stain before it will start to deteriorate.

This being said, you are much better off with a stain that fades evenly and is easy to reapply when needed. Cabot will not last two years in most scenarios and can be average at reapplication/preparation.

Oil based stains will penetrate better then water based stains. This equals easier maintenance. The exception are Defy stains. They penetrate just as well as most oil based stains.

Here is a picture of Defy Extreme Cedartone:
