Here was a custom home that was stained 12 yrs ago and I was very happy how the Gray Away held up over the years.It was lightly cleaned with 12% mix with no pressure then stained with Super Cedar all hand brushed .
It took a total of 2 and half gallons !
Well this was my longest fence till I have 4 K Lft to do in a few weeks. This was both sides stained for a total of almost 30,000 sqft of new cedar fence.
Here was one of those why did you wait so long to re stain after 10 yrs?

The sprinkler marks are not perfect but they are a PITA to darken 100%!
I would wait till your weather dries up and use an oil base stain since one day deck stains are waterbase and decks tend to dry out with a waterbase stains. I guess if the deck was covered and doesn't get much sun the wood would be ok?
I'll post this here to what's at Lowes but for $40/gal is...

There would be GREAT...
