Deck Stain Frequency & Lifespan Guide
Factors that Affect Stain Life
| Stain / Sealer Type | Recommended Re-Staining Cycle | Protection Level |
|---|---|---|
| Transparent Sealers & Toners | Every 1-2 Years | Minimal UV protection; enhances natural wood look |
| Solid Stains | Every 2-4 Years | Maximum UV & moisture protection; best for long-term durability |
IMPORTANT NOTES:
- Severe Condition: - In extreme cases; stain may last less than 1 year.
