Can I stain my deck in the spring?
People also ask: What time of the year should I stain my deck?"
Late Spring Autumn is a good time to stain or paint exterior structures such as porches or decks. Mid-autumn is characterized by cool, dry days and cool evenings with low humidity.
You may also wonder if it is better to stain your deck in the spring or fall. Stain requires a dry deck to be applied securely. This is why a week of dry autumn weather is better than summer or spring humidity. Particularly, staining is best done in the early fall when temperatures are moderate. Later fall weeks can bring colder days that may be too cold for your stain.
It is also important to know how long after rain can you stain a deck.
Wait 24 to 48 Hours. According to Behr Corporation, stain manufacturer, you should wait at least 24 to 48 hours before staining a deck. The stain will not adhere to the deck if moisture is present in the wood.
