Deck sealer is typically a transparent coat that seeps deep into the wood and forms a clear film on the surface while maintaining the wood's natural finish. By penetrating the wood, the sealer creates a protective layer that helps minimize water infiltration and lock out moisture.

Deck paint can be either oil -based or acrylic — both are good products. Oil-based paint has the advantage of being slower-drying, which makes outdoor application easier and more mistake-free. Acrylic paints have less VOCs and clean up easier.

A solid stain is, essentially, a paint. Both are films that sit on the surface of a substrate. A penetrating stain differs from a solid stain entirely in that the product actually absorbs into the wood. ... A solid stain will better accentuate the texture of the wood, so a rough surface likely calls for stain over paint.
