“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.”
