    Anyone used a colour decking stain recently? Looking to get some feedback as to whether to not they are any good?

    More trouble than they are worth unless you do it right. Need to have the timber COMPLETELY dry, i.e. 2 solid warm dry days and then stain it on the 3rd. Most people also lay it on too thick and it inevitably flakes. Need to do several thin coats. If you don't feel comfortable doing this, oil it.

    Don’t use stain
    It will peel eventually
    Oil it is the only way
    I used osmo oils really good but expensive

    Oil is the best easier to maintain/touch up and doesnt peel
