Step 1.
Choose a wood stain in your desired color.

Step 2.
Thoroughly clean the deck. Use deck cleaner (see Related eHows) or a pressure washer - which uses forcefully ejected water to clean surfaces - for this.

Step 3
Let the deck dry completely.

Step 4
Fill a small bucket or rolling pan with the stain.

Step 5
Immerse a brush or long-handled roller into the stain. Absorb only enough stain for a few strokes.

Step 6
Roll or brush stain deck. Make sure you apply the stain evenly.

Step 7
Wipe excess stain or dark spots with rags.

Step 8
Let stain set for 24 hours.

Enjoy Your New Deck!
