The stain and sealant choice is important!  We use Cabot Stains for our decks.  We have had the best luck with them over the years and they also have the highest rating from Consumer Reports for all deck stains.  You can see their website at: http://www.cabotstain.com/shared_frames.cfm?area=towoca&cabot=1.  When there, click on the "Exterior" section and then select "Clear Solution"--this is the oil-based product that we use for most decks.  On the left, you can see the colors.  Most people choose the Pacific Redwood, Natural or Cedar color.   A variety of solid and semi-transparent stains are also available.   When possible, we will try to match the color to your existing deck.
