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.
It is best to wait until the lumber is no longer green before applying the sealant, otherwise you are just wasting time and money treating it. If the deck is in direct sun all day long then it may be a several months shorter than 1 year, however, 1 year is pretty much the standard. http://www.thepaintprofessional.com/.
