We just added a large deck to a property that we will need to stain once it dries out.  We recently added a new boathouse that was stained but used the recommendation of the builder and recently re-stained a back deck at our house using a stain the guy suggested.  I'm not sure how I feel about either of the stains used.  Anyone have a recommendation for a really good long life stain?

FWIW

We stained our back deck with PPG Proluxe 2 years ago and its holding up well.

Did the back deck on house I lived in several years ago with Behr stain.  Behr stain is (or was then) dogshit.

TWP is what we've used.  If it is a new build of treated boards, they need to air out a couple of months before staining. 

Yeah, we are going to let it dry out a few months. I think TWP is what my boathouse was stained with. I like the color a lot, was maybe hoping for a bit not waterproofing.

A deck will wear quicker than a fence but I did my fence with Behr semitransparent cedar a year ago and it’s still looking great. Consumer Reports did some good multi-year testing on stains and it fared better than most in those.
