It has previously been painting with decking paint. Looking for something harder wearing that will last longer. I don't want to strip or sand if I can get away with it


If you don't want to strip and sand it, then an exterior house paint is your only option. But, you can then paint over the paint with a clear Polyurethane to get maybe a few years at a time out of the polyurethane. But, you'll need to strip everything in 10-years.

- Otherwise, it should've never been painted and only Solid Stained. Stain doesn't peel, blister or crack and just fades. If it gets Sun and you're fine with the wood-look, then One-Time Wood Protector

is the ONLY winner. Just roll it on every 7-years and never strip.
