Almost done powerwashing the deck -- about 1,500 SF. Deck is
constructed of what I believe to be pressure treated wood. Looking for
advice on what to use for finish. Waterseal? Deck stain? It was
unfinished/unprotected by the previous owner. Will one coat cover and
protect? I don't want to do this for another four years.

Semi-transparent Cabot Decking stain (comes in several colors). Soak
the end grain areas well. Ideal deck sizes are about 400 sf, just to
keep maintenance under control. If there were any mildew/moss/algae,
you may want some additives to the stain. Good luck--You got a big
job ahead.
