Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
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.

This is a wonderful product!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We've been talking about staining the deck for some time. Bought the Cabot and we are thrilled with the results!! It was easy to apply - we used a semi-rough roller. It dried quickly and looks great! The previous owner worked on his Harley on the deck and left major oil stains. The redwood covered them completely in one coat! We have some more exposed wood that will need some treatment and we'll be going !back for more Cabot

Customer service was a top priority
We were not happy with the cashier that was busier playing with her hair and was not going to check us out because only self checkout were open. If one of your employees are not willing to check us out we will take our business elsewhere. We went to the garden department to get checked out. We would of just left if we hadn’t been matching the stain

Fantastic product!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We've been painting our deck for the last few weeks. It's taken more paint than I thought it was going to but the deck hasn't been done in over 10 years. It's looking fantastic!!

Seems to be a good product
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I bought the stain, I asked for something that will last and this product was recommended. It is a nice solid color as I wanted and coverage is really good. I know some folks have complained about premature peeling so I hope that is an unusual situation. I am happy with how it looks and the ease it went on.

Globby paint
Would Not RecommendI’ve used this product in the past and had good success but just bought 2 gallons 3 days ago and they were full of gunk and globs of who knows what. Yes, I had them shake them at the store and shook them and stirred before applying.

This item is great but it has become too Costly
Would Not RecommendIt is an excellent product that I have used many times. My main complaint is the accelerating price increases, especially recently.
