We are considering building a cedar deck off the sun room of our cabin. Can the new cedar be stained to match the old product or will there be a clear difference in color?

I still have five gallons of the stain we used on the house. It is a few years old but I have kept it rotated and in a dark cool place. I tried a small area on the old ceday and it is a good match. I am concerned that on New cedar it won't look the same. I think pressure washing or sanding might do the trick.

John, Yes you are right that it may not look the same on the new cedar but will start to look fine as it ages, might now still match with the older stain though. Re stain is the best you can do for both areas. Good Luck!
