I moved into this house roughly 3 years ago, the deck was done with a solid stain. I have no idea what type of stain it was. The deck stain has started to chip and wear down in places. I have since installed a 6 foot privacy fence around the yard (two years ago, I stained). I am wanting to stain the fence and then stain the deck. Which stain would you suggest for both?
You will need a solid stain again for the deck unless you want to sand it all off. Try Defy Extreme Solid Stain or Flood Pro Series Solid Stain.
For the fence, we would suggest a semi-transparent stain:
Help. Several times we have stained our cedar fence with Behr solid color home stain. it has been 4 yrs since our last staining and now some of the stain is flaking off and or blistering off completely leaving bare cedar. Should we stay with the same product or, if we choose to use TWP what would be the prep? Your recommendation please.
You would have to sand it off to switch to TWP. It would be easiest to stay with a solid stain.
