Although most modern decks are made out of the water resistant pressure treated wood, this is not sufficient to give your deck total protection from the elements of nature and the sloppier elements of humanity. Staining your deck will prevent cracking, splintering and yellow that often come after exposure to rain wind and snow. It also ensures that when a youngster or an oldster drops a particularly sticky ice cream cone on the deck, the mess will be easy to clean, and it will not leave a nasty stain.
