What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this deck stain for its ease of application, rich color, and excellent coverage. Most highlight that one coat provides full coverage on decks and fences, with smooth application using rollers or sprayers and quick drying time. The semi-transparent finish enhances wood grain beautifully, delivering elegant results that exceed expectations. Many express confidence in long-term durability. Some note color discrepancies between swatches and actual results on wood, and a few report rain beading shortly after application, though these appear user-related rather than product defects.

Very good product

Would Recommend

I loved the product and the finish we ended with I will use it and recommend it to others the only negative thing is it didn't cover the square footage that it says you will get per gallon. But that's not a reason to not use it again.

Good Oil Base Stain

Would Recommend

Oil base stains are getting harder to get due to EPA regulations. More and more water base products are on the market. I feel this Cabot stain really penetrates the wood very well. I applied this product to pressure treated pine which I waited for 3 months before pressure cleaning with Cabot deck wash. Overall I am pleased with final results.
