Upgrade to my old dock!!

a year ago
I re- stained my 20 year old dock at my lake cabin after having some repairs done to it. It looks SO GOOD!! I chose a darker brown stain and what a difference! It looks new and really elevated the look of the dock. My furniture and flower pots really pop with the new color and I know with the quantity that BEHR offers, my deck will stay looking great!! Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures on my phone ( I lost all my pictures from last summer ☹️)

Yes, I recommend this product.

Response from Behr:

Alex, Behr Customer Care
Hi MamaMegan, thank you for your review. I'm sorry the coating has chipped so soon on your deck. I assure you, this is not the experience we want for our customers, and I understand your disappointment. To get your project back on track, sand off the loose coating down to bare wood, clean with Behr All-In-One Wood Cleaner to help open the pores of the wood to allow the stain to penetrate into the wood. Once the surface is clean and dry, touch up the bare spots with the stain. If needed for uniformity, apply a thin coat over the entire board. Customer satisfaction is important to us, and we appreciate your feedback. I will also be reaching out via email to learn more about your project and assist you further. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience with us, and I hope to hear from you soon! -Alex

Love The Look.

I have used this wood finish for the last three years. It has done a wonderful job of preventing the wood on my dock from splitting, warping or changing color. Very happy with the results and ease of use. I have always had great results with Behr Paint and finishes.

Great and easy wood protection for a great price

I bought this product for my pool deck which was applied to raw wood. Cover up was instant with the best finish you can imagine. A second hand was applied since I live in Puerto Rico where we have a mix of weather conditions which proofs the resilience of its weatherproofing quality. I highly recomend this product for all outdoor wood project

Great Paint!

5 years ago
First time home owner and I decided to make the deck look new again. I borrowed my friend's pressure washer and lifted the old sealant right off. be careful you aren't too close to the wood, because it could damage it. After cleaning it, I took the sealant and rolled it onto the deck. I posted a status of it on facebook and all of my friends liked it. The cedar wood went from looking gray to new manila wood color that's on the can. i had to use 2 cans for my deck and i still need to finish the railing. i used a pretty heavy coat even though it says it doesnt need it.

I love this stuff!

6 years ago
I am a (frustrated) amateur when it comes to staining wood. I have tried a half dozen different stains, and was not especially satisfied with any of them (not Behr products). However, THIS one is the only one to totally satisfy me with regards to ease of use, ease of clean-up, and beauty of finished product. I have used the cedar naturaltone and the redwood. I used the stains to treat plain pine wood for raised garden beds and it worked perfectly. The beds look like more expensive wood at a fraction of the cost. They are protected from water, sun damage, and mildew (OK, confession: mildew is not much of a problem here in Arizona!) I highly recommend this product, though I can't comment on its durability yet as I've only used it for the last 2 months.

Yes, I recommend this product.
