Is there a way to stain match old and new wood?
+1
We enlarged our deck and have old wood and new wood (old wood has grayed). We need to stain and waterproof the entire area but aren't sure what to do or what to use to get it to match as closely as possible. Are there any good products available?

Your best bet would be to get some sample stain chips and compare across all brands or get a good bright photo and take it to your store. Just have them mix a small container if possible to see if it matches. New stain will always be a little different due to weathering on the older stain.

Try pressure washing the old wood. It should get close to the original color.
I too would power wash the deck and use some wood bleach to get the old boards up light enough to get both to stain equally.
