We have our favorite stains and offer reviews based on this but not everyone has had the same results. We cannot expect our top-rated stains to perform flawlessly in all scenarios nor would Behr Supreme fail in all scenarios. We do suspect it does in most cases though

Have been using Behr for 25 years on pressure treated pine. Still looks good.
have a new cedar deck in Minnesota and trying to figure out which of the following products would be best:_Sikkens, Messmers or Penofin
Al H, of those options I would use the Messmers. Penofin has a tendency to turn black or darken and Sikkens is way over priced.
Used Defy Extreme Deck Stain last year on new deck boards.. Followed all manufacturers recommendations and in less than one year in N.C. our finish has failed with mildew and loss of water resistance. What a waste of time and lots of $! Not the only unsatisfied customer logging on with complaints! Buyers beware!
After doing all the research and looking at you tube videos, I decided to clean my deck with Restore a Deck, and then stain with the Defy Extreme stain, natural pine color. I stained on a Saturday. It was about 60 degrees, sunny and mild, and a bit on the cold side. On Sunday the deck looked incredible! IT is supposed to rain Monday, today and so hopefully that won't be a problem. The results are amazing! The deck went from a weathered gray to a rich brown, elegant look.
Nice!
