Though I've heard of Raleigh, North Carolina, I have no idea of the climate as that would make a difference in what would work best for you. Also, does it get a lot of sun, dirt or sand ground into it? What type of wood is it made of? Is there currently something on it? Anything of that nature would help to know how to search for what would protect your deck.

There is a deck restore available that will brighten it up. If you have a home depot by you they offer alot of solutions.

We just did our wood deck with Behr's Deckover. It can be colored and is thick like mud. The deck has to be very clean and it is applies with a brush to work it into little cracks and requires 2 coats. We love the way it looks and feels, no more splinters! Crossing our fingers that it will wear well. I wouldn't waste the money on Thompson's. If you want a good sealer use Sikkens. Good luck!

If you use paint, the deck will be hotter with bare feet. A stain penetrates to protect and still lets the wood breathe and will not get as hot.

I wouldn't recommend Behr products as I have used them on my decks and had a terrible peeling problem with it.

I like the Flood Deck Stain. Clean the wood well before applying. We did it last year and it looks like new.

Peeling is generally caused by moisture. You have to be sure the deck is completely dry before applying any paint or stain.

I am a fan of oil treatment for wood decks rather than sealers, because sealers eventually peel off. I scrub the deck with bleach & oil soap, rinse it well, let it dry, then treat it with boiled linseed oil, put on with a roller and a big paintbrush. It brings out the grain, gives the wood a rich color, repels water, and is good for two or three years. Boiled linseed oil is relatively cheap compared to deck sealant. I worked at a historic house where shingle siding treated with boiled linseed oil has lasted over 100 years.
