Benefits of Staining your Deck - Prevention of infestation and rot

Routinely staining the deck will help to significantly improve its lifespan by assisting in preventing infestation and rot. Wood stain assists in sealing the deck against moisture, as well as intrusion from pests, helping you to avoid expensive issues such as mildew, mold, and wood rot which might otherwise cause deck areas to crack, sag, and possibly collapse if the damage gets bad enough.
