My 1st stain applied lasted 8 years. I still have the original PT Boards that were installed on my decks in 1998. That is 18 years. After the 1st 8 years I stripped the stain and and used Benjamin Moore brighten and restore, then applied their Naturaltone clear. Clears have very low pigmentation so they don't block as much UV rays but I love the natural look.You can recoat every three years to keep protecting and beautifying. The PT lumber being sold today just doesn't last. The boards split and warp in the 2nd and 3rd years. The Federal Government takes away everything that is good. The arsenic made it last but the great EPA killed it. Phenol mercury prevented paint and stain from mildewing and they took that away. I could go on but will not. Composite decking has not kept it's look either and it is so dog gone expensive.
