Hi,
There is no stain or dye in this deck. The wood is Ipe and we used a clear sealer.
It naturally has this rich color. You can also leave it unfinished
And it will grey out. Even with the sealer the original
Color naturally lightens due to the sun.
Thanks for the question.
Cathy

THANKS FOR THE ANSWER!!

Looks great. Could you tell me the sliding door system you used?

Hi Patrick --
I am just seeing your question -- in a random scroll to look at current Houzz activity on my site. For some reason comments embedded inside discussions don't always get to us in an obvious manner -- hence my delay.
First -- thanks for the compliment.
And now for your question - the doors are sliding aluminum doors by Fleetwood -- these ones are set on the outside of the building wall and they telescope slide into a pocket built over the exterior wall. There is one long track -- rather wide - for 3 equal door panels and 2 equal screen panels. When the panels are ported - they are concealed in the "housing" .
Great doors --
thanks for the question.
Cathy
