Hi,

Thanks or the great forum.

I getting my deck re-surfaced. It is a 2nd story deck. For the surface we are going with Veranda composite (grey) and for the railings, we are going with pressure treated wood. The cost of the composite railings was too prohibitive. The original structure is intact except that it is redwood colored.

My wife and I would like the railings and structure to be white. I have been reading about all of the various products and I'm kind of stuck as to what I should be using. The structure has already been painted or stained (not sure which) and the reailins will be brand new. I want a solid color...just looking ofr a good product recommendation. Someone told me to use porch paint on the structure because it has already been painted or stained and to use Olympic solid deck stain on the railings because it allows you to not have to wait 80 days for the wood to dry.

Can someone let me know what they think or recommend a product to use?

Thanks,

Rob

It depends on the climate, but I'd wait for PT wood to dry. Sherwin Williams Duration is a good paint, if you choose that route. They also have experts behind the counter that can assist you locally.

Hope that helps!
