I am in the process of finishing a deck for my son inlaw before the 4th of July and we have decided on AC Sequoia for the rear deck and front porch steps.
The question I have has to do with the front porch. He has was seems to be treated wood for the supports and railings. Now these look to be stained and have been there for almost a year but they have not greyed at all. It is a light brown color. I was told it was not stained. What can be used to clean this so it would be ready for a stain. We were thinking on using a white Deckscapes solid stain and the steps being the AC sequoia.
The reason for the color choice on the front is that the house is a grey to tan vinyl and all the trim is white and the porch is actually cement with a cinderblock wall.
One other question is how long before the deck is usable after staining with the AC? We did a test spot today on the railing and it looks great.
