best stain color for a new pine deck

Rich 8/20/23 What is the difference between TWP 100 and 1500? This is a new premium 5/4 deck half was started last year and has weathered to a light gray the other half is dry and still has a pine color to it I’m wondering will there’s two areas stain the same color or will one take the stain differentl,I’m thinking of using Two 1520 pecan,thanks 

I am ready to install a pre-fab shed made of red cedar. The manufacturer says that the wood is dry and can be stained immediately, without further preparation. However, the manufacturer of the water based stain I want to use (Ely Ultra) advises to wait 6 months and clean and brighten it first. What advice is best? Or do you recommend something else?

I used Armstrong Clark Semi Trans stain to restore my deck. I used stripper to remove all old stain and a brightener. I allowed to dry for 2 days. Although rain was not forecast the morning I applied the stain, it did rain about 3 hours after I finished applying the stain. Stain had mostly soaked in, but there were a few wet spots that I intended to wipe up after 12 hours if they were still there. When it rained, the water did pool up on the newly applied stain making me think that I had applied enough and didn't need a second coat. Now I'm unsure how to evaluate the end result -- not entirely happy with the way the deck surface looks.  Photo attached.  Do I need to do anything else?

I have an untreated porch, 8 years old that needs to be stained. I  live in MT with dry/cold climate/snow in winter. I have arrived upon TWP 1500 or Armstrong Clark semi-transparent as the optimal products. Do you recommend one over another for dry climate subject to cold snows, older deck? I was under the impression that Armstrong Clark puts oils back into the wood which might be helpful here.
Thank you

Who makes Armstrong deck stains

I used Thompson sealer mistakenly first on my new deck.  What do I put on it to make it a solid color?  Help!

During a house renovation our builder installed a mahogany on the floor of our front porch and small back deck. About 3 months later he had a floor guy sand both of them and coat with what I believe was Olympic Elite Mahogany Sealer. The sealer has failed in certain areas.
From reading your information I am guessing that I will have to use a wood stripper and then the brightener before putting any kind of restorative product on the floors. The front porch is covered, faces south but there is a large pine in front of it. It does get early morning sun on the east side and late afternoon sun on the west side which is enough that we can not find a shady spot for a couple of hours between 4:00pm and 6:30 pm.
I was considering using the Armstrong clark stain in mahogany but will that make it a lot darker than what a wet piece of mahogany would be? Is there a better solution than what I have mentioned to make sure these decks are taken care of properly.

Where can I purchase your product in Canada?

What is the best stain for construction grade redwood decks.  I like the look of the wood as is.

Used a transparent waterproofing sealer on my deck 1 year ago.  I now want to stain my deck. Is it best to use a stripper or cleaner before staining?  Thanks. 

For the first time last fall, I stained my new IPE deck with IPE Oil from Deckwise.
I have more of this stain and I like it except it holds too much odor. I there a 
top coat I could use to "seal" in the odors? Thanks in advance, Bob

If I have a oil base stain on my deck now can I use any brand of stain as long as I use another oil base stain?

On a new cedar deck in central Indiana, what is your recommendation for a best stain with UV protection in mind? And is it best to allow some weathering first or apply early to protect fresh boards?

I have a new fence that I installed heart redwood what is the best stain on the market 

I have a new redwood deck finished thanksgiving. Have sampled Armstrong Clarke semi cedar and am ready to stain. How should I prep?

We have an Ipe porch, 40' x 10'. This is our 3rd year of using Ipe oil to protect it.  This year however, the oil didn't get absorbed as well and we are left with a sticky porch.  What can we use to get the stickiness off?

I have  two cedar docks on a lake that the natural cedar stain I use scapes off over the summer with pets running over the docks. Also the stain doesn't seem to soak into the wood. When I pressure wash in the spring it all comes off clean - I want something I can apply that lasts more than 1/2 a season 
In the North  East - high sun 

I have an Ipe deck. I'm in North Carolina, so the sun is fairly intense, although only for a few hours a day because of the location, which is in the shade for long periods. I have not stained the deck for several years. I am now trying to choose the best product to use and have read up on a few but am still not much the wiser :). I would like the deck to retain its color for as long as possible. What would be my best choice?

I have a large mahogany deck--going on 20 years old and still in decent shape, with a few boards replaced over the years.  I used Cabot's Australian Timber Oil for many years but my painting contractor told me two years ago that the product was no longer the same quality based on environmental regulations that forced a formula change for Connecticut.  We used Penofin instead two years ago--clear penetrating oil--but I'm told that formula has also been modified and that it's not as effective/long-lasting in its new formulation.  Contractor is powerwashing the deck this week in preparation for treatment.  What would you recommend--for decking and mahogany railing tops?
