Solid penetrating stains or semi-solid stains with an opaque color are the best to protect pool decks. You can apply sealer with a brush, roller or a mop on larger deck surfaces. Use a paintbrush for smaller areas such as railings and the wood edge next to the pool. Push the sealer between gaps on all boards to coat the sides and prevent wood rotting in the joints.
