We have a weathered wooden porch, on our 1925 home. We don't want to replace the porch as it is still the original and very charming. The wood is fine but badly weathered on top. It was suggested we brush all the loose bits off and paint the wood with epoxy pool paint.
Do you think that will work?
Sounds expensive.
I'm wondering why an opaque wood stain wouldn't work.
Was the person suggesting this perhaps in the business of selling paint? If so, I'd be officially suspicious.
Best Regards,

Depending on what you mean by "badly weathered", you probably want to use a penetrating epoxy, rather than pool paint, like Abatron's wood-consolidant.
If you're going to go the pool-paint route, I'd treat the wood with some sort of boron-based preservative like timbor
