Questions & Answers

I just purchased a backyard discovery crosswind gazebo. It came from the factory with Behr solid stain 5013. I would like to add another coat as we live in the northern Alabama. Do I need to do any prep work prior to stain before assembly?

            Hi KenC, thanks for your question. The coverage of our Solid-Color Waterproofing Stain & Sealer will depend on the coat you're applying. It covers about 200-400 sq. ft. for the first coat and about 400-800 sq. ft. for the second coat per gallon (2nd coat is always lighter than the first). Please feel free to reach out to us directly if you have any other questions. Have a great day! -Alex

                Does this product need primer when used on new cedar for medium light colors

                Answer This Question

                Hi Bruno, thanks for your question. We recommend priming cedar, redwood, and cypress woods with our Multi-Surface Primer before applying this stain. This will prevent the wood from bleeding and discoloring the light stain color. Have a great day! -Christina

                  Great paint. I painted my deck 3 years back with the same paint and bought this again because of the quality. Also I was able to reuse the left over from 3 years back and it gave the quality as the new one

                  Can't clean dirty paw prints
                  Bought 5 gallons and followed all the steps on cleaning the deck, letting it dry and then applying the stain in Padre brown. I love the color and it looks good on my deck. About 24 hours it did rain on the deck but the label says that it should dry in 4 hours. The temperature was around 85 degrees when I stained it, so I also made sure it was below 90 degrees like the label says. About a week later I let me dogs walk on it and now I see their footprints on it. A raccoon also visited and now I see those footprints too. I used some water and a towel to wipe them off but that did nothing. Now the deck just looks dirty. Really disappointed in this product and it was recommended by the paint guy at Home Depot. Not sure what it's going to look like in a few months or a year or two. I even tested it in a deck board I bought, didn't think about letting my dogs walk on it to see if permanent paw marks would appear. Can you imagine how much work and money this will require to remove this stain to put something else on it.

                  Hi Jamie, thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear that you're having an issue with paw prints on your deck. To remedy the issue, I'd suggest cleaning the surface with our All-In-One Wood Cleaner. If that isn't effective, then I'd suggest applying a thin coat of stain to the entire deck for uniformity. Customer satisfaction is important to us, and we appreciate your feedback. Please feel free to reach out to us directly so we can learn more about your project and assist. We look forward to hearing from you! -Ronald Behr
                    Love this product , doesn’t have to go on perfectly but it turns out perfect! Easy to apply and dries fast, we were walking on it after hour. Will do my decks in this each year as needed, please don’t ever stop making or carrying this!!

                    I'm very happy with this stain and sealer. The taupe color looks beautiful and gave my outdoor wood a clean, updated appearance. It applied smoothly, covered well, and dried evenly. The finish looks durable and provides great protection from the weather. I would definitely use this product again.

                    I recently used this BEHR Premium Solid Color Waterproofing Exterior Wood Stain and Sealer, and I’m very impressed with the results. It went on smoothly with excellent coverage, so I needed fewer coats than expected. The Barn Red color is rich, vibrant, and gave my wood project a fresh, clean appearance. It dried evenly and has held up well against rain and sun. I also appreciate that it combines stain and sealer in one product, making the job quicker and easier. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a durable, great-looking exterior wood stain.

                    This stuff is the best! I stained my whole 42 year old cedar siding home and it looks like new. So easy to apply, I brushed it on. No drips or runs, goes on so smooth. After the first rain, water beaded off like a freshly waxed car.

                    This stain was easy to apply and has good coverage. I have tried several other brands in the past but keep coming back to Behr. My only criticisms are that over time the orangish shade fades to brown and that the stain doesn’t last on horizontal surfaces - expect to restain after five years or so. On vertical surfaces the lifespan is much longer.
