When it comes to outdoor wooden structures such as deck, homeowners can either choose painting or staining. Each method comes with its own merits, but before homeowners decide to choose one method over the other they should know the maintenance involved in each. Using the right exterior paint can protect your wooden structures for sometime. Therefore, you may not need another painting job until after 2 to 5 years. Staining is quickly becoming the preferred alternative to wood painting and there is a good reason for that. Unlike paint which can start to flake or chip, staining offers maximum protection and will last for a long time. Also, while painting job may not bring out the natural beauty of your wooden structures, staining will add beauty, elegance and long lasting protection. The other appropriate option for wood preservation is sealing. It has different base but still very functional for wooden structures. Sealing is mostly used to protect the wood from moisture without hiding its natural outlook.
