Wasting your time with water based stains/preservatives on decking.Its not cheap but will last,easy to re-coat every fives years and will put up with foot traffic........ They do a variety of colours and its good stuff.

A lot of Architects recommend it for weatherboarded buildings and structures but its great on fences and decking.

I had EXACTLY the same problem two years ago, used Ronseal decking stain for decking - cost over £50 for 2 tubs, and that winter the snow took the stain off in great patches. So last summer I pressure washed it off (easily came off) and used Wilkos shed and fence stain/timber care which was about £7 for one big tub which covered it all! - better colour and finish and also in February the water is still beading on the decking - can't believe the quality!! My Dad told me to use that in the first place, I should have listened.

Hi Just wondering how your decking is wearing now???

i think maybe we should have treated ours first.
It certainly looks a real mess now

Hit the nail on the head there.

Check out products from Sikkens or similar, much more of a pro product than Ronseal etc
