Deck Stain

May 29, 2004 2 Replies

I have stained my deck with a dark brown Behr latex stain the past few years, but it doesn't seem to hold up well. I am looking for recommendations.Maybe I should try a different brand? Thanks Jim


If you used solid stain on the horizontal deck boards (walking surface) NO stain will hold up! Never use anything but transparent or semi-transparent on walking surfaces. I have Behr solid stain on vertical surfaces that is more than 10 years old and still looks very good.
