I just installed an ipe deck and am tossed with letting it just bleach out or oil it looking for the pros and cons of either

    I love Sikkens stains. I used a Sequoia Redwood on mine, it turned out similar to your project but I think yours would have been nicer, giving my deck a more dramatic look. Great job!

    Just started using Sansin's DEC and have a custom tint for my company that get great reviews. It allows the varying colors to come out while still protecting due to the fact that pigment is what allows protection over time.

    Looks great!! I just had my deck finished, I am looking for a barnish that will give that final look! Any ideas?

    Jose, Check out Sansin's color chart for the stains. from there you can work with the supplier to tweak the stain color to create the effect you're looking for.

    Their product is much more durable than many of the other products I've used in the past. I think you'll be happy with the possibilities and the results.

    If I have completely treated wood (pine) do I need to stain/oil the deck? Also how long does this particular stain I the deck in the picture last for?
