I used Olympic stain on my pergolas that I built 3 years ago and it is till
going strong. And, I also power washed last year, with no adverse effect.

Hi all -

Last summer I powerwashed a 10 year old basically stainfree deck and
applied
a solid Behr stain. It looked great but this spring I noticed that it is
peeling up on the deck surfaces like wildfire. I emailed Behr and even
sent
a photograph. Sadly, they could just provide the canned responses of
application tips and not much more. I have used their paints for a long
time and really like them. I'm just so disappointed with the stain and
their lack of interest in resolving a customer complaint. I mean what
more
can a customer want? Just get me a coupon or something for a new $30 gal
of
stain. Because - hello - that is what I am going to have to do is apply
the
same color stain every spring I guess. I can't stand incompetent customer
service departments. Its like they just try to wear you down until you go
away. Am I being unreasonable here? I don't think so but I've been wrong
before!
