      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

            Answer This Question

            Hi olddeckfiinish, thanks for reaching out. Our DeckPlus Solid Color Wood Stain can resist rain after it has dried for at least 24 hours. If it rains before this, you could run into issues, such as bubbling or peeling. I hope this helps! -Christina

              Can I mix one gallon of this stain with one gallon of BEHR PREMIUM in the same color (SC-130)? I already have one gallon of this BEHR DECKplus but would like to use it with one gallon of the BEHR PREMIUM grade on my deck.

              Hi PCTech, thanks for your question. We do not recommend mixing our DeckPlus Solid Stain with our Premium Solid Stain, as this could affect the performance of the coating. Enjoy the rest of your day. -Christina

                  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.

                  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

                    Wonderful Color and Product
                    Our long-time painter recommended this brand. It looks fabulous! We replaced a lighter brown that we'd used for years. This color makes a striking difference.

                      Awesome results! Fence looks amazing and the paint quality it amazing. Water repels like its suppose to. Highly recommend Behr. Fence not finished yet, but it starting to shape up

                      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!

                      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
                        Nice paint, but bad color
                        We painted our deck recently, and while the paint was easy to apply and seems to wear well, the color is very far off from what is shown online. In person, it is much much lighter and redder. In the sun it appears baby pink. I've attached a photo of when just the railings were painted so you can see the comparison between the paint and our natural wood deck. We honestly do not like the color, but are unwilling to repaint the entire deck now. Just wanted to warn others!

                          Pretty easy coverage and looks great!
                          We wanted a true black stain-this is it (no gray or blue tone to it). Pretty east to cover in one coat. We were staining new fence boards which are a bit rougher, so some needed 2 coats. We also used it on our deck and it covered fantastic! I can't comment on wear since it has only been a month. I am hoping this will remain somewhat maintenance free. All around good product and easy clean up!
