Would RecommendUsed this product about four years ago on my fence and it is now rather faded and in need of additional coats. I explained to get at least 7-8 years out of it.

Valspar Grand Mesa semi-transparent
Would RecommendBought new wood picnic table at Lowes and got this stain sealer, went on nice and instructions stress ONE COAT. I felt like putting on another just cuz that's what I do, but didn't. Also used to polyurethan on top of that, but again, nope, we'll see how well this stain and sealer is! Not gonna lie, a little nervous due to I DID the vinegar step, followed everything to the T. Do love this chill color, so far so good! Fingers crossed!

Problem getting it tinted when using curbside pick
Would Not RecommendIt was not tinted when I arrived and the associate took it back in to have it tinted. When I looked at the order details there was no color listed in the details. Make sure you don't forget that.
Great Deck paint/stain
Would RecommendGreat paint/stain. I pressure wash and re-stain every two years. This is my third time using this product. It stands up very well to the elements, and it gets a pounding from the sun. Not to mention to debris that falls off the trees.
