Hello Folks,

I am looking for a stain but not sure which is the best for me. My Situation:

I have a 10 year old Trex (the original stuff with not grain look) AND a 10 year old pressure treated Arbor (greyed). Neither have had any stains or treatments done to them. I want to try and stain them to look like a nice rosewood or a little lighter. I don't want to go with a solid, unless it becomes a must. I live in Northern Canada i.e. heavy winters, shoveling the deck to get to the hottub. So I am looking for something exceptional tough that I can get in Canada.

Tks in advance for your insight

Not sure what is available locally in your area. Maybe Penofin Stains. I would try contacting them to see.

If you can find Penofin then I would use that. Second would be Olympic followed by Cabot as long as they are in the semi-transparent oil based formulas.
