To protect your investment and be proactive, we recommend you have the wood sealed with a good quality OIL-BASED sealant within its first 2 months outside. By being proactive and sealing it soon after set up, you may be able to skip a year or two before having to reapply the sealant. We recommend and sell Super Deck Transparent Sealant. This product penetrates deep into the wood and closes the pores of the wood thus not allowing water in to do damage. This also slows down the natural checking and cracking process. With your proactive actions of sealing, you will enhance the factory stain color before it starts to wear.
