Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Applying a topcoat sealer is not required, but it will keep the stain from fading over time. This is particularly important if the stain imparts a color or varnish. If you’re staining exterior wood, you should apply a sealant or finish to prevent weather-related issues down the line. Also, stained wood that lacks a seal won’t look as clean and fresh. A clear topcoat will give it the professional result you want.

Like the choice of stain vs. paint, your deck color is entirely up to you. By consulting color theory, you can make choosing a house and deck color combination much easier. Many people choose a darker color for their deck because it doesn’t show dirty footprints or other marks from daily wear and tear as much as a crisp white or other light color.

You should treat your deck with stain or sealer every two to three years to ensure it stays durable and protected from the elements. If you have a painted deck, we suggest repainting it every 10 years. You should clean your deck annually and inspect it for loose or damaged boards, screws, and nails. By maintaining your wood deck, you ensure its longevity, durability, and appearance.

The general consensus is that two coats of stain are required and since the cedar is siding, a third coat of sealant is always a good idea. This helps protect the wood and stain, so you won’t need to resand and restain for at least a decade. Each stain after the first will darken the wood, so be aware of that when choosing a colored stain.

A five-gallon bucket of deck stain will cover roughly 875 square feet in a single coat. Actual coverage will vary based on the type of wood you’re staining and the number of coats. If you plan on doing multiple coats, multiply the square footage by the number of coats to calculate how many buckets of stain you’ll need.
