For Best Results:
Take the time to properly prepare your deck before getting started and finish your project right with a second coat. This will help you ensure long-lasting durability for years to come.
Step 1
Grab your tools.
Step 2
Make sure that your deck is clean. Give it a quick sweep to remove visible dust and debris.
Step 3
Using a garden hose, spray down your deck.
Step 5
Wait 15 minutes, then scrub your deck clean in the direction of the grain with a stiff bristle brush. You may notice some bubbles.
Step 6
Rinse the deck thoroughly.
Step 7
Allow your deck to completely dry before you begin staining. This may take about 24 hours.
Step 8
Using a stain pad, apply the stain evenly in the direction of the grain, two or three boards at a time, moving from end to end. Continue to the exposed ends.
Step 9
Allow the stain to dry for one to two hours before applying a second coat.
