We just had a 500 sq ft Cedar deck installed (treated Pine frame underneath).

Of course now in Michigan its starting to get cold and rainy every other day or so.

Can the experts reccommend if:

I should seal it now or wait until spring?

What is the best seal/stain to help keep the natural color and prevent it from going grey?

Any other tips or advice for maintanance?

I will get some pics up later today.

Thanks

I would use an oil based stain in the Spring.
