    Answer This Question

    Hi Tracy, thanks for reaching out with your question. Yes, our DeckPlus Solid Color Waterproofing Wood Stain can be applied to your pressure-treated wood. If it’s new, please be sure to allow the wood to fully cure/dry for 6-8 weeks and then clean the surface with our All-In-One Wood Cleaner. Once clean and dry, you may apply your new coating. Good luck with your project! -Angie

            Can I use this for the underside of my bridge over my koi pond? Is the solid color waterproofing wood stain water or oil based? Thank you
            ByJul 8, 2026
            1 Answer | 
            Answer This Question

            Hi Linda, thanks for the question. Behr DeckPlus Solid color stain is water-based. It should be suitable for underneath your bridge as long as it doesn't get direct contact with the water, as the coating can fail, and it is not formulated to be non-toxic for animals. Possibly, a marine base would be best. If you have other questions or concerns, please reach out to us directly. We are always happy to help. -Alex

                  30 years ago we turned my greenhouse into a 12 x 20 garage for lawn tools. We used 4" on center T1-11 siding and painted it with one coat to match the house. Now we needed to refresh the look of the old garage until we could afford the time to reside it with metal. @3hpmconstructionllc, Bayron and Elsa, power washed the building and then came back a few days later and applied the slate color, solid deck stain to the building. It now looks 100 times better and will survive until we can reside it.

                  BEHR stain covers quicker and better than other named brands of stains I have used in the past. I have a custom color made by the paint professional at Home Depot to match several out buildings and decks at my home so everything matches perfectly. I would highly recommend BEHR solid color stains for decks, fencing and tool sheds.

                  I believe I made a good choice when I selected this Behr stain! It is Very easy to work with, goes on smoothly. I painted an old fence using this stain, color:slate. It’s brought life back to the fence and now my neighbors wanted to know what stain I used to paint my side of the fence.

                  Ordered the Redwood stain. Instead received something that looked like pumpkin. I am sure the product is good just not the color. Customer service was really accommodating on the return.

                  Used a sprayer to apply the stain and it was quite easy. Am very pleased with the color and quality of the product.

                  Looks good, coverage is overstated
                  So far, so good. I'm staining a 25 year old pressure treated deck, Pressure washed it thoroughly. Between pressure washing and age the surface is sound but very weathered. I'm applying the stain by rolling the large areas and brushing the railings and spindles where I can't reach with the roller. It's easy to work and covers well. BUT . . . the coverage extimate of 2,000 square feet per five gallon bucket us grossly understated. I have 3,100 square feet of surface to cover. Per the specifications, I should have needed just under eight gallons . . . NOT. I'm already well into my 3rd five gallon bucket and it looks like a 4th may be needed. The color is great and time will tell how well the product holds up. If I can get another five years out of the deck I'll be happy.

                    Not as good as Olympic stain Thinner than expected Used over sealer on fence. Original sealer was 7 years old, cleaned, but this stain was too thin and a second coat was suggested hence doubling the cost of coverage. Second coat should have been more prominent. I would have used Olympic instead
