Very pleased with the color, works perfectly for worn old wooden decks. Gave 4 stars because I don't know how it will wear vs what the can says.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used many different brands of deck paint on my decks. Behr products have outlasted every other brand.

      Hi there, Thanks for taking the time to review our DeckPlus Semi-Transparent Wood Stain. I'm sorry to hear about the peeling and mildew. To fix this, I recommend removing the loose coating and using a mildew-killing cleaner to remove the mildew. Then, clean with our All-In-One Wood Cleaner to open the pores of the wood and promote adhesion before applying two new coats of stain. Please keep in mind that periodic cleaning may be needed for areas prone to mildew/mold. I've also reached out to you via email to get more details about your project and assist further. Thanks again for reaching out, and I hope to hear from you soon! -Christina
        Great product!
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We recently stripped our deck and decided to give this product a try. It was easy to apply and the finished product is exactly what I had been looking to accomplish. Very satisfied and would use this again on any future projects.

          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this to stain the board and batten on our house. It's been 7 years and the house looks as if it's been freshly stained. Would highly recommend this product!

              Effective Stain
              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought and used this staying on our outdoor garden box. It went on well and provided a good protection on the wood.

                This stain isn’t even worthy of one star. You’re lucky if this stain last a year before flaking and coming off. If I did not have a big deck with lots of rails and boards I would change brands, but trying to match off the exact color isn’t easy. I have pressure washed and cleaned the porch before applying the stain and nothing makes this product hold any better. Many boards have been replaced on my deck and I cleaned the wood before applying the stain and less than a year later the deck needs restained again. For this price I would expect a better product.

                Hi there, thank you for your review. Sorry to hear that our Semi-Transparent Waterproofing Exterior Wood Stain is starting to peel. This is not typical, and I can understand your disappointment. To fix the issue, I'd recommend removing the stain by scraping, sanding, or power washing at a low level. Then clean the surface with the All-In-One Wood Cleaner and let it dry, then apply 2 coats of stain per the label directions. Customer 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! -Ronald Behr

                I definitely recommend the diluting per instructions. I put inly one coat on 2 years ago and just did a 2nd coat. It changes color shade after the sun bakes it but water beads up and has helped the crappy wood builder used to last longer.

                DONT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY
                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I followed the directions and used this as recommended by Home Depot employee and used it on our brand new redwood deck. In less than a year it is faded and looks terrible!! I should have taken our contractors advice and used a different product. Now, I need to sand the entire deck and use another product. Our deck/patio area was supposed to be the end of our remodel... and since I trusted Behr's product I now have ANOTHER project.

                Hello, thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear that the stain you applied on your new deck has faded in less than a year. That is not typical, and I can understand your frustration. Our Semi-Transparent Waterproofing Stain & Sealer should provide a 3-year lifespan for horizontal surfaces and 5 years for vertical. Since it doesn't sound like you have any loose coating, you will not need to sand the surface. To fix the fading, I recommend cleaning the deck with our All-In-One Wood Cleaner. Once dry, touch up the affected areas and apply a thin coat corner to corner if needed for uniformity. I've also reached out to you directly via email to learn more about your project and assist you further. Thank you for sharing your honest experience with us, and I hope to hear from you soon!

                  Hello, thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear about the adhesion issues. This is not the experience we want for our customers, and I understand your disappointment. I recommend removing the coating, cleaning the wood with the All-In-One Wood Cleaner, allowing the wood to dry completely, and applying two new coats at the recommended spread rate. Customer satisfaction is important to us and we appreciate your feedback. I'll reach out to you directly in a private email to find the best way to help. Have a great day! -Giovanna
                    information is incorrect
                    They said it covers 300 sqt for 1 coat which is completely wrong for me 400 sqt I use 3 gallons so far. I am completely dissatisfied with this product.
