      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

                  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.

                  pretty but….
                  Its a very pretty matte black but it definitely does not cover 2,000 square feet, it barely covered the 18 feet of fence we put up front and back, its definitely not worth $200 and we havent even put on the second coat yet, and the bucket is almost empty!

                  Response from BehrFeb 2, 2024
                  Hi Emis, thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear that you did not get the coverage you expected. A 5-gallon Deckplus Solid Color Wood Stain container should cover between 1,000-2,000 sq. ft. for the first coat and 2,000-4,000 sq. ft. for the second coat. Applying two thin coats at this spread rate is important for proper performance, as over-applying can lead to surface failure. Nonetheless, your satisfaction is important to us, and we appreciate your feedback. Please reach out to us directly if you need further assistance. Our customer care team is happy to help you! - Randy Behr
