Olympic Stains have seen a thing or two

Durable Performance

From hot grills and messy spills to zoomies and mid-jump bailouts, Olympic stains are built tough to handle real life. Our durable, fade-resistant formulas stand up to high heat, heavy foot traffic, scratches, and even the antics of four-legged escape artists—helping your deck and fence stay sharp, strong, and stylish through it all. When life gets unpredictable, Olympic stain delivers dependable protection with staying power.

Easy to Apply Stains

We get it—life happens, and weekends go fast. That’s why Olympic stain is designed to be easy to apply, fast-drying, and DIY-friendly, so you can knock out your project and still make tee time. With a simple, no-fuss application, you can start strong, finish fast, and finally cross it off the list—without giving up your Saturday. No pros needed, no overthinking required. Just a little effort and a big payoff.

Weather Ready Formulas

Olympic’s advanced wood stain is built to stand up to whatever the weather throws your way. Its water-resistant formula shields against rain, snow, and splash zones, while UV protection helps prevent fading—keeping your deck bold, bright, and looking like new. And with our fast-drying, weather-ready technology, your project can resist rain in as little as two hours after application. From harsh sun to sudden showers, Olympic stain helps your wood stay strong and beautiful, every day.
