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.
Stain the Pool Deck. Once the stain is dry on the coping, work with the professional to mask off the coping. Then spray acidic concrete stain (of a different color) on the pool deck. Apply the color evenly and spray the entire deck in one session to keep the color uniform. Let the area dry overnight before removing the masking.
