    by Scott Paul ~ Restoring Wood & Decks Since 1993 04/05/2022

    Deck Stain Pictures Album Deck stains have not changed much in the past few years. Many brands have gone away from oil-based stains to water-based, but you are still able to use oil-based stains in all US States and Canada. We currently restore about 300-400 decks annually, and our favorites are the penetrating semi-transparent and semi-solids. You can read the full article here on the: Different Types of Deck Stains

    by Scott Paul ~ Restoring Wood & Decks Since 1993 01/14/2022

    Semi-Transparent Deck Stain Picture Album We have been using deck stains now for 25+ years and reviewing them on DeckStainHelp.com since 2012.

    Semi-Solid Deck Stain Color Photos

    by Scott Paul ~ Restoring Wood & Decks Since 1993 01/14/2022

    Semi-Solid Deck Stain Picture Album We have been using deck stains now for 25+ years and reviewing them on DeckStainHelp.com since 2012. In the past 5+ years, we have used more and more of the semi-solid stains and colors. The major reason is that the higher the solid content, the better the UV protection from fading. Semi-Solid wood and deck stains allow the wood grain to show slightly and if they truly soak into the wood grain, reapplying is much easier down the road.

    Behr Premium Deck Stain Photos

    by Scott Paul ~ Restoring Wood & Decks Since 1993 10/05/2022

    Behr Premium Deck Stain Picture Album Behr Deck Stain Stains consumer reviews below have shown issues with the application, drying unevenly, and peeling. If you have any pictures of your experience with Behr Deck Stain, you can add them in the comment area with a detailed description. Behr Stain Opacity Issues Recently: Behr essentially lies about the opacity of its stains. Their “semi-transparent” colors do not show wood grain properly and look more like semi-solid or even fully opaque colors. This makes the wood look more like solid paint and makes removing of the stain, when it peels, extremely difficult. See the pics below that show these opacity issues.
