For fairly new or puttied decks, the best choice is usually a semi-transparent or transparent stain. Furniture that hasn’t been moved for a long time will cause stains underneath, resulting in color variation. Some people really like the transparent look and don’t mind the color variation. If that’s not the case, here are your options: Semi-solid stain: Helps look more even but you will still see some variation. Solid stain: Makes the color look even with little to no variation. For decks between 5 and 12 years old, it’s best to use a semi-solid stain to create a more uniform look. Solid stains will provide the most even coverage. For older decks, we recommend thicker products, such as Deck and Dock by Sherwin-Williams, or a solid stain for better protection and appearance.
