What Customers Are Saying

The Cabot Solid Color Decking Stain has received mixed reviews. While some customers were satisfied with the application, coverage, and appearance, many reported issues with peeling, cracking, and poor durability, especially on older or weathered wood. The stain seems to perform better on newer or well-maintained surfaces, but may require reapplication within a year. Some customers also experienced inconsistencies in color between batches. Overall, the stain does not appear to be a reliable long-term solution for protecting outdoor wood surfaces.

Would Not Recommend

I stained my deck last summer . Color was beautiful , easy to apply . Few months forward , snow melted and my deck looks horrible ! , Looking at my deck you would think tornado went through and debris scratched my deck ! Waste of my money and time . I previously used different cabot stain and worked much better .

Great Stain

Initially I balked at the price of the Cabot product but after I really looked into this product & company I decided to pull the plug and invest in a Gal. of the stain for our front column. Looks great. I ended up buying 3 5 Gal. buckets to spray on our backyard fence.

Great product

Would Recommend

Being a professional painter for 20 years, I have tried many products over the years. They come and go as the technology changes, but the Cabot Australian Timber Oils are the best products I have seen. I have used these for the last 5 years, nothing comes close to the quality of the product. easy application, longevity, and the final product looks great, which is especially important to my customers. Nothing beats this, I highly suggest them.

Difficult to apply evenly

Would Not Recommend

We used this product on some aged, pressure treated decking in a screen porch. On the plus side, it was easy to apply. However, it was very difficult to maintain a wet edge during application and in any area where the stain sat longer than about 10 minutes, we got visible lapping of the coats. The other issue is that this stain was at least two shades darker than the sample in the store, making the problem even more visible.
