Some decks require sealing/ staining every 4 to 5 years. Some decks with full exposure to the sun may need to be resealed/ re-stained every 18 months. How long do I have to wait after power washing my deck to be able to stain/ seal it? Around 48 hours of dry weather is needed for the deck to properly dry out correctly. The last time I had my deck done, they sprayed sealer all over my vinyl siding and sliding door.
Keep off Newly Painted or Stained Deck. In average conditions, your paint or stain will be dry to the touch within 1-2 hours, but you should not walk on it for probably 4-6 hours. In cooler weather or during periods of high humidity, you will need to wait even longer than this. If you need to walk on your deck and you are not sure if it is quite ready, clean your feet and go barefoot.
