“I just finished a 25 day deck cleaning, brightening and staining project; yes there is 1500 sq feet of deck plus hand rails.  We moved into this house in early June and wanted to get the decks done so we can enjoy them and to ensure they were protected from the brutal Utah sun we have here at 5,500 ft.  I could only work on the deck 3-5 hours a day, early morning and late evening due to the strong and hot sun we have had the last month.

“I chose Preserva Wood® stain based upon research I did online, opinions posted by folks at various web sites, the support you folks provided via email and telephone, the samples you provided and the availability of the product at Home Depot.  Both my wife and I are delighted with the way the deck looks; we chose the Red Cedar color.  Since the decks were neglected for 2 years I had to use 15 gallons of the stain to complete the job as some spots required two coats.  I was tempted to use other brands that cost 50% less but I do not want to have to take on this project every year!

“The only suggestion for improvement I have is I would like to see you use a different lid on the 5 gallon bucket; have a screw-on/off pour opening in the lid.  This would make it easier to pour when the bucket is full but I do understand it would make is difficult to stir the stain.

“Anyway, thanks for the great product and support.”
