Thanks for posting the pics and it really does look nice!]]> Wood Deck Stain Reviews Scott Paul ~ Restoring Wood & Decks Since 1993 https://forum.deckstainhelp.com/wood-deck-stain-reviews/twp-update/#post-7592 https://forum.deckstainhelp.com/wood-deck-stain-reviews/twp-update/#post-7588 Sun, 17 Jun 2012 15:26:30 +0000
Overall I am pretty satisfied. I did have a hard time getting stain between the slats even after spending extra effort and letting the pressure treated pine dry for almost two months. Since I over sanded it, I had to go with two coats on the floor although one coat had been recommended for a new deck.

We went with a custom color I mixed myself. The cedar was just too yellow for us and the rustic a bit too red, so I went with five parts cedar and two parts rustic to end up with the color in the pictures. In real life the color is just so rich and robust, I just love it. Now, looking at pictures of the deck before it was stained, it just looks unfinished.

I hope the pictures do it justice. Thanks for the advice. I'll try to come back and do some updates later to say how it's holding up.
