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!

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.
