What Customers Are Saying

The product offers good coverage and a natural-looking color that enhances the wood grain. It is durable and water-resistant, providing effective protection. However, some customers experienced inconsistent color matching and issues with the stain not being properly tinted or mixed. There are also concerns about the stain's longevity, with reports of premature peeling or wearing off. Overall, the product appears to be a suitable choice when applied correctly, but customers should carefully inspect the color and tinting before use.

Protect your wood

Covers well and seals better. Be careful when choosing a color because I didn't realize how much more pollen would show on my deck in the spring, but that's not the products fault.

Keeps water out

Would Recommend

Perfect size for small projects such as porch chairs. I used it tinted with November Gray for a small bench that is partially out in the open, and when it rained the water beaded and wiped off easily.

Want to avoid rebuilding an entire wooden deck?

Would Recommend

Years ago, I built a large wooden deck with treated wood and stained it with oil based stain, but within a few years an entire section exposed to the sprinkler system rotted, so I replaced it and stained that with Valspar stain. It has lasted so well that now that I have to replace the rest, I am using nothing but Valspar (4 gallons!) and the whole thing looks great.

Beautiful fence

I used this product some 6 years ago and it has held up well and looks good. I just applied it and my fence looks like furniture.
