Best Deck Stains
When it comes to staining a deck - what are the best deck stains for your project? It depends on the deck itself. If you have a wooden deck that has the grain shining through - you will want to choose a deck stain that is a clear stain, or a toner. Clears protect your wood while allowing all of the grain to shine through unadultered. Toners are typically oil-based wood stains that tint the wood while also protecting it. Then there are semi-solid and solid color wood stains as well as semi-transparent wood stains. It can get exhausting trying to figure out what each does. To learn more about what the best deck stains are for your next wood staining project check out the article below.
