Try the TWP 100 Series or Defy Extreme stains. Prep with a deck cleaner and light pressure washing. Brighten the wood after.

We installed a new cedar deck in April of this year. So it has aged almost 5 months. We were hoping to stain it this weekend with a semi-transparent. But - is it too soon?  I don't want to risk poor results and have to worry about stripping it in the Spring  , not only because of the work involved but also the environmental concerns as it butts up to the beach.  Do we wait and not worry about the unprotected wood through our RAINY season and the salt water effects or do we get it stained to protect the wood before winter?  

Thank you for any insight and advice!
