After you pressure wash the wood and remove all the old stain. Try lightly sanding the deck with an orbital sander. Then decide if you want a water based or oil based stain. Once the wood is dry, apply the stain with a long handled roller on a windless day. Once the stain is dry, use a clear polyurethane of the same type as the stain (oil based on oil based, water on water.
Clean off all moss etc. and stains. Lt it dry. Then starting at the furthest point and work back and forth across the boards with the stain preserver until you are done. Do not leave it half done. complete the whole thing otherwise it will show where you stopped!
Thanks for all the great advice and suggestions.
problem solved
After cleaning it, tape off everything else and spray it. You can also use a roller on the floor.
We just stained our new deck. We power washed it, let it dry, then on a weekend when we knew we'd have several days of dry weather in a row, we stained. We used a brush, sprayers tend to overspray and get stain everywhere.
Hi Betty, hope this helps you out.
