Staining a deck comes with a number of advantages, including:
It prevents rotting by sealing out moisture, fungus, termites and other agents of decay, making it last longer.
It saves it from wear and tear due to solar radiation.
Staining your deck protects it against heavy foot traffic — an especially important consideration in areas that are common walking routes or that see lots of scooting chairs.
Stain preserves the appearance and natural beauty of wood, bringing out the grain and keeping it colorful and bright through the years.
