  • Worked Fast and Easy
Size: 2.5 Gallon Color: Light Walnut
This is Great Stuff. FYI - I ordered the #1 Deck Premium Semi-Transparent Stain - light walnut - to use in conjunction with this nice company's other products, #1 Deck Wood Stripper and #1 Deck Wood Brightener. Aside from cutting in the edges with a brush, I used a power sprayer to evenly apply this Semi-Transparent Stain, and while still tacky, applied a second coat for better protection, as recommended in the instructions. Temps were high, drying conditions were great, and we moved the grill & furniture back onto the deck the next day. I am pleased with this product, and would gladly use it again. So, I recommend it highly, and hope you found this Review helpful. Other Thoughts - The #1 Deck Stripper lifted the old stain away and after pressure washing left the wood bare and ready for the wood brightener. And, the #1 Deck Wood Brightener did a great job of giving the wood that new look that pressure treated lumber has, and our deck is 20+ years old. Actually, amazing results in my opinion. I don't have a single word of criticism toward this stain, but will say that my wife did not share my enthusiasm, and made it clear that she preferred the more opaque stain that was used on our deck during the previous application, and found difficulty in warming up to the natural wood grain that the Semi-Transparent Stain enhances. So, using this #1 Deck water-based stain as a base coat, I conceded and applied the opaque stain used previously. 1-Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. 2-We both have to be happy with the deck. 3-Life is short. 4-Outside projects are always a pleasure for me. Between you and me, the Semi-Transparent Stain looked great (grin). Best of Luck ... show more

  • Perfect for a 15-year old deck
Size: 2.5 Gallon Color: Light Walnut
We have a 3-level deck that attaches to our home, walkout basement, and pool. All three levels see various levels of weather, sun, and water and it had been 7+ years since the last staining. I researched semi-transparent stains and this brand came up in a few places as the best for my situation. Price was actually a little cheaper than anything highly rated at the big box stores locally and the 2.5 gallon contains seemed perfect – not having to lug around the 5-gallon variety. I loosely figured my deck sq. footage at 700, but some areas of the decking has railing. I bought 10 gallons worth and it came out perfect. One coat on all railings and 2 coats on the deck surfaces. I have about 1/6 of a 2.5 gallon container left. I used a Graco sprayer for the application with light back brushing. Color looks great and coverage is even. Very easy clean up. Very satisfied with this product and I highly recommend buying a sprayer over brushes and rollers of any kind. Did all three decks in one day. ... show more

  • Good deal, nice color
Size: 1 Gallon Color: Light Walnut
Started a project to stain my 10 yr old fence. Looked at a lot of stain options but #1 deck was by far the best deal for the amount of stain and price. Decent color choices available. I was looking for a brown color to match the back part of my fence that was already painted a few yrs back. Here are pics of the fence in it’s “original” state (gray and grimy), a pic of the fence after power washing (lighter natural wood color) and a pic of the final product after staining a day later (light walnut brown). I also included a side by side photo of the one side that is stained (still wet) and unstained. The color dries to a slightly lighter color with just 1 coat. Stain is pretty watery, I had to buy 2 gallons to finish my entire fence with about 1/2 gallon left over. Definitely recommend using a drop cloth to prevent splatter on your patio/grass. I wore a tshirt and got splatter on my arms too but it’s easy to get off with soap and water. Would recommend buying. Hoping it lasts a few years or even longer before needing to reapply. ... show more

  • Easy to use
Size: 2.5 Gallon Color: Light Walnut
I used this to refurbish a 30 year old deck. I started with a good scrubbing with oxyclean. Then belt sander 80 grit. I painted it on with a 4 inch brush taped to a pole. Since two coats are recommended within 20 minutes I applied it to the first three planks and then a second coat to the first and a first coat to the fourth and so forth. It covered far more area than I expected. It soaked in, definitely a stain, not a paint. The color held up over the winter. Otherwise, too soon to comment on durability. My wife is not pleased with the color as it has a distinct orange cast. ... show more

  • So far looking and feeling great!
Size: 1 Gallon Color: Light Walnut
Just spruced up our cabin deck and this stain looks great - would recommend this product! We had to totally clean, sand, and then re-finish our deck in the woods in the Pacific Northwest which had been sitting untouched by past owners for at least 5 years if not longer, so it was in seriously poor shape, as you can see in the before photos here. This deck was so filthy at first that we literally had to use a SHOVEL to get all the moss off of it before we could start actually cleaning it properly. We didn't have the ability to replace any deck boards so we knew we wanted a sealant that really got into the parts of the boards that were a little worse for wear. I can definitely see a slight sheen on the uneven/rotted parts of the boards where the sealant pooled, but honestly it doesn't bother me - it just seems like a little added protection against the elements, which I'm happy about. It was super easy to apply, and really easy to clean the tools after with just water and a little Dr. Bronner's soap. The deck has some inherited neglect issues in some of the boards, but otherwise it looks and feels GREAT now. I can't quite emphasize enough the difference in look and feel. Now we can walk on it barefoot and it's totally comfortable. We also re-did the patio furniture with the same stain/sealant so that's pictured here as well. ... show more

  • Looks great....
Size: 1 Gallon Color: Light Walnut
I built a big double wide gate last year and stained it pecan with Ready Seal. Great stain but I wasn't looking forward to using an oil based again since cleaning the HVLP sprayer is a pain. Bought the Light Walnut in this and stained a mailbox post I just set up. Not only does it almost perfectly match the pecan gate, it was super easy to put on and super easy to clean up. I actually used only one coat since the color was perfect. I like to stain once a year with one coat instead of two coats lasting 2-3 years. Doesn't bother me...Plus, since it matches the Pecan stain, I will be using this to stain the 14' double gate this spring....yes, this is watery, but be careful and it goes on great plus it soaked into my cedar post right away.....I'd recommend this if you want a water based stain. Looks just as fabulous as the oil based stain on gate....Time will tell about how it lasts... ... show more

  • Great stain for old, weathered decks.
Size: 2.5 Gallon Color: Light Walnut
I had a 31 year old deck that was weathered, stained and deteriorating. When COVID hit I decided to see what I could do to recondition it. I spent a lot of time pulling up deck boards and sanding them, but the top side was pretty bad. Instead I pulled up all the boards and reversed them, using the underside on top. I power washed, sanded and fixed the rotted places with wood filler. Finally I applied two coats of #1Deck stain and the results were great. The deck looked almost new. The stain went on easily with a 10-inch brush attached to a broom handle. The coat was even with no overlapping streaks. I'm really impressed with how well this stain was able to revitalize my very old deck. It is now 2 years later and the deck still looks great, though I think I'll be cleaning it in the fall and apply at least one more coat of stain. I highly recommend #1Deck stain and will be ordering more. ... show more

  • So far, so good!
Size: 1 Gallon Color: Light Walnut
Literally, so far, so good! I applied nearly 2 gallons of the Light Walnut color stain to my floors and steps about a month and a half ago (didn't do the posts or railings as I wanted to see if I'd like the color before going hog-wild with the rest of my decking!) I really liked the ease of use! I know I DO NOT have hours to wait to apply second coats of stain just to make things look good and uniform so, the 20-30 min. instruction between coats worked wonders! Because my decking faces south/southwest during the high point of the day, I applied this between 8:30 and 10:30 in the mornings, and/or between 7:00 and 9:00 in the evenings. Altogether, it took me 3 days to do nearly 400 sq. feet of deck flooring. As of now, my wood looks very nice. Today, I'm giving this product 4 stars as I'll have to wait another 9-plus months to really determine its' true worth after 4 months of a cold, possibly snowy, winter and a rainy spring. Supposedly by then, I'm to just be able to clean it, then put a "supporting" coat down...we'll see! But for right now, I do like it. UPDATE (4/18/2020): I've used this product twice (2x) now; the first time in 2018 and the 2nd in June, 2019 - and as of today, I have to knock off a star. Today, I noticed that the stain is chipping and peeling in quite a few places and I don't think it did that great of a job of sealing the wood. Unfortunately, some of my floorboards are now splitting and cracking, which means that now I have to do quite a bit of repair work before cleaning and staining. The coloring is great - I'll give it 5 stars for the color but, 2 stars for the overall quality. I could see if the color faded some and the wood was just dull-looking after 10 months but, I didn't expect this. Especially since this past winter, it's been mild here in PA (I only had one "mini" ice storm and 2 inches of snow for the whole season so, I would have thought that this stain/sealant should have held up better). Time to look for another stain/sealer... ... show more
