How do I stain a deck?
Have you just had a deck installed, or do you already have a wooden deck that you want to stain? Then we explain here, step by step, how to stain a deck.
Ensure that any old layer, such as varnish, water-based stain, or paint, is sanded away first so that the wood is bare. Finish with 120 grit sandpaper for an even surface. Sanding is not necessary for new and untreated wood. However, always allow new wood to weather outdoors for 6 weeks.
Apply the first coat in the desired color to the wood. Use a brush, paintbrush, or microfiber roller for this. With 1L, you can stain approximately 26m²; the product has a high yield. Apply the stain thinly to the wood, always following the grain of the plank and wood, and brush it out well.
Allow the wood to dry for at least 12 hours at a minimum of 10 degrees Celsius. Also, ensure that the wood cannot get wet while the stain is drying. After complete drying, apply the second coat of Deck Stain.
Allow this to dry for at least 12 hours as well; see point 3. After drying, the deck is protected against all weather conditions, dirt, and mold.
