Q: What are the problems with wood decking?

• <div><p>If you have wood decking, there are several <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-common-deck-problems-and-solutions.htm">common deck problems</a> that you might encounter. For example, your natural wood boards may fade over time due to things like sunlight, weather, and debris. On top of that, some types of wood decking can rot, grow mold, and attract destructive pests&mdash;including termites, carpenter ants, and woodpeckers.</p></div>

Q: How do you keep pressure-treated wood from rotting?

• <div><p>Various kinds of substances and deck preservatives act as protective coatings for wood to prevent rot, which is caused by water getting into the wood and creating cracks and splits. Stains, paints, and sealants are the three best options to protect your wood, but there are also oils, varnishes, and waxes available. You&rsquo;ll need to reapply sealant at least once per year, and you should <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-often-should-i-inspect-my-deck.htm">inspect your wood deck</a> regularly to look for signs of damage or general wear and tear.</p></div>

Q: How do you keep stain rags from combusting?

• <div><p>Rags used with oil-based stains are highly flammable and can spontaneously combust in the right conditions. To reduce the fire risk, throw them in a metal container after use and add rocks on top to secure them. Add an inch of water and seal the container. Take the rags in the container to a hazardous waste factory as soon as possible. </p></div>

Q: How many years will deck stain last?

• <div><p>A quality deck stain lasts 2 to 5 years, depending on the type of stain, weather exposure, and how well the deck is maintained. Transparent stains may need reapplication sooner, while solid stains tend to last longer. Regular maintenance, including cleaning and sealing, will help extend the life of your finish.</p></div>

Q: What happens if you put too much stain on a deck?

• <div><p>Ultimately, overapplication of stain can compromise the deck's appearance, durability, and longevity. It may result in an uneven finish, with excess stain pooling, dripping, or drying into thick patches. It can also obscure the wood's natural grain and texture, detracting from the desired aesthetic. Moreover, excessive staining may not fully penetrate the wood, leading to poor adhesion and premature wear. Additionally, thick layers of stain are prone to peeling, cracking, and blistering as they struggle to bond with the surface. </p></div>
