Understand Concrete Stain and Weather Impact

so I'm out here working on a pool deck today and I'll be give get asked quite often what I use on a pool deck there's a lot of products out there that you can use and um this this deck here is just a concrete deck it's been treated I've treated it approximately every two two three years about three years up here in Idaho we've got extreme weather conditions typically in the winter time the pools are frozen the um there's snow typically on these decks for a significant period of time so water snow ice on the up here in Idaho it gets extremely hot in the summertime too it's um 105 it's been over the past week so we get extreme conditions so decks wood decks concrete decks clear coats on concrete it's typically every three years you're going to have to you know treat your surface if you want it to look good and this is a product I'm using it's agency color top solid color stain now I use a stain it's a really thin coating and it absorbs into the concrete and doesn't create like a film like a paint wood that would peel so it's really thin it doesn't eliminate the profile of the concrete on a pool deck you want the surface to stay rough so people don't slip there's additives you can put in the The Conch in the stain itself or your product to make it anti-slip but this is a nice rough pull
