What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this deck stain for exceptional coverage, ease of application, and proven long-term durability. Most highlight full, even coverage with a single coat, smooth application with brush or roller, and quick drying. Many reviewers have used it for decades, noting it deeply penetrates wood and maintains color and protection over time. Water-based cleanup adds convenience. Color options deliver rich, natural tones, though some find actual shades darker than samples. While several acknowledge the higher price point, most consider the quality and lasting performance well worth the investment and consistently recommend it to others.

Happy with Semi-transparent; only time will tell
Would RecommendWe purchased the semi transparent, and it was really easy to work with. The product leveled out and no brush marks. Could potentially get away with one coat but going to use two for longer durability. Great color and you can still see the wood green.

Great coverage and color
Would RecommendI liked the coverage on an existing PT deck railing, previously stained with Cabot Semi-transparent. The Burnt Hickory color complements the new composite deck flooring that we have selected.

Made My Deck Natural Color Again
Would RecommendLooks great on my deck rails. They are pressure treated and 1 year old. They were fading and I knew eventually would turn gray. I sprayed them with several cans and they look like natural wood again. Can't wait to see how it holds up over time.
