How many coats of stain should you put on cedar?

• <div><p>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. </p></div>

Q: Should you hire someone to stain a deck?

• <div><p>Hiring a contractor or professional deck refinisher is the best way to ensure your deck is properly stained. They have the expertise, tools, and supplies to do the job quickly and efficiently. However, staining a deck is a manageable task for most homeowners, and doing the job yourself can save money. Just keep in mind that DIY staining is a long process requiring physical strain, so it may not be the best option for everyone. </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 long does it take to stain a deck?

• <div><p>Provided conditions are ideal, staining an entire deck should take as little as a couple of hours and up to a couple of days to apply and cure. Additional procedures, like sealing a deck or using additional treatments, may extend the project by a few additional days. </p></div>

Q: What is the best way to apply stain?

• <div><p>Your tool of choice ultimately comes down to personal preference. Many DIYers prefer applying stain with a lint-free rag, but others stick with a paint brush or a roller. Wipe the stain and work it into the wood, working with and against the grain. If you&rsquo;re applying multiple coats, allow the stain to dry for around <b>four hours</b> between coats.</p></div>
