Some of you have coated a deck with some sort of coating. Whether it's a
stain, paint, or something else. What brands have you found to be good
quality, or maybe you have been dissapointed with some brands.

What brands and types of coatings have you used, and what was your
opinion of them. If you used them on siding or trim, that also matters.

Please state the brand name, type (solid stain, transparent stain,
paint, or other). Was this used on a deck, siding, fence, or something
else? What kind of wood was it applied to (standard, treated, new, old,
etc)? How was it applied? How long did it last, or NOT last, and what
happened to it as it aged? Were you satisfied? If you want to rate them
on a scale from 1 to 10, please do. (One of terrible, ten is excellent).

Please base your responses ONLY on personal experience, or that of
someone else who you know. NOT on advertising, price, or what you heard
or read about someone who you dont know.



I've used solid stain on cedar house siding. MAB the first time, that
lasted 12 years. Used Benjamin Moore last time, that's been 2 years
now. There was zero peeling, prep work was essentially just power
washing it. I would favor using a stain on a deck, because less
tendency to peel. The BM Arborcoat is a really nice produce, flows
well, covers well. Overall I've been very happy with BM products.
