These calculations will help you determine the square footage for the proper amount of wood stain and prepping supplies needed to refinish your deck or fence.
This is intended to provide you with an approximate estimate only. Material requirements may vary according to application method, surface condition, and weather conditions.
Prepping Options
- Deck Cleaners. This will be used for new, gray, dirty decks and for applying TWP over an intact older coating of TWP.
- Wood and Deck Stain Strippers. This is used for removing old coatings of stain. Use this if you are switching from a different brand to TWP or if you have a neglected coating of TWP that has failed unevenly.
- Wood Brighteners. Used for neutralizing after cleaners or stain strippers are used.
