What Customers Are Saying

The product appears to have mixed reviews. Many customers were satisfied with the coverage, application, and long-lasting protection it provided for fences and decks. However, some reported issues with the stain not adhering properly, peeling or wearing off quickly, and not matching the expected semi-transparent finish or color.

Valspar Pre-Tinted Cedar Naturaltone Exterior

Would Recommend

​I recently used the Valspar Pre-Tinted Cedar Naturaltone stain for a home project, and I couldn't be happier with the results. If you’re looking for a reliable stain that actually delivers on its promises, this is the one. ​What I Loved: ​Excellent Coverage: The most impressive part was the coverage. I only needed one application to get a solid, even finish. It soaked in beautifully without leaving patchy spots. ​Rich Color: The "Cedar Naturaltone" is spot on.

Good stain

Decent, I didn’t entirely know what I was doing so it isn’t incredibly even, but it’s good enough and probably not the stains fault lol.

Love the rich warm color and coverage. I have used this brand before on my pool deck and fence. The expected longevity is right on. I do 2 coats on flat deck and 1 coat on fencing.

Exactly what I needed for my project

Would Recommend

I have a split rail fence that is about 40 years old made of pressure treated wood. Over the years it has gotten gray and not that great looking so I decided to give it some color to make it look up to date. The Valspar Solid Exterior wood stain and sealer did the trick and made my fence look brand new.
