I'm looking for UV and water protection, but also like the look of a clear finish. What would be the most transparent of your stains to retain that beautiful natural wood look?

I'm getting ready to but Twp 1500 stain for the pine decking on my pier. I would prefer the clear stain, but my contractor said the cedar tone provides better UV protection and would hold up longer. Is this correct?

We live in hot dry Sedona AZ. The two decks we need to redo after only one year, are redwood. We used a Behr product and it is failing horribly, and we have to replace many pieces of wood and the others have lost most of their seal.
The TWP 100 sounds good, we are going to sand down everything after we replace the really bad ones and apply another product.
Do you agree with this choice, or please give us another one. We would even paint it with a more solid product, but would hate to do that.
I await your expertise advice!

The TWP is a penetrating oil based semi-trans stain. As log as the wood is prepped well and the stain is applied well, it should be good in your climate for about 2 years before it would need to be cleaned and reapplied.

I just finished stick building, in SouthEast Virginia. Raised ffrom the ground on 6x6 PT postst, I notched a PT pine platform foundation(beams and joists) and 5/4 PT pine boards for the deck. The building on the deck is SPF framed, I used rough-sawn white pine for the exposed rafters and ties, metal roof ontop. I used t+g white pine siding boards on the outside of building.
What series would best suite my needs for my climate and the white pine both rough/planed?
Thank you,
Seth G.
Use the 100 Series but read this first about new wood: http://www.twpstainhelp.com/prepping-new-wood-for-twp-stains/

I have a cedar dock in upstate NY. 1/3 is new, another 1/3 is one year old and the last 1/3 is 2 years old. None of the wood has been stained or sealed yet. I'd like to stain all of them next year. Will they all look the same color after staining since the weathering has different shades of gray now? I scrubbed the dock with a scrub brush to remove all the dirt and algae but probably need to use a cleaner next year before staining.
It will be close but maybe not exactly the same. Prep with the Gemini Restore Kit prior to staining.

i bought a used Redwood playset and looking to sand it down to restain it - do i need a primer? if not which redowod series do i use 100 or 1500 - is this a solid stain?
You cannot use a primer with TWP. TWP does not come in a solid color stain, only semi-transparents. Use the 1500 Series.

TWP 1500 is a Semi-transparent Oil-Based wood stain and preservative that is allowed in all 50 states.
The new TWP 1500 formula is designed to penetrate better, dry faster and outperform the previous TWP 500 series formula.
TWP 1500 Series is an EPA registered wood preservative which prevents structural damage and wood decay on exterior above ground wood surfaces such fencing, decking, wood siding, log homes, and roofing. TWP 1500 Series resists water absorption that causes warping, cracking and splitting as well as preventing freeze damage in colder climates.
TWP 1500 Series is a low VOC preservative with special U.V. absorbing pigments that prevent unsightly wood graying, darkening and fading. The selected mildewcides inhibit the growth of mold and mildew which assist in preventing premature discoloration.
TWP 1500 Stain Series will keep your wood beautiful, fresh and looking new longer. The ease of application and maintenance will allow you to enjoy your investment for years to come.
