Rust-Oleum 350060 Brown RockSolid Composite Deck Refresh Stain, 1 Gal

There are precious few products I will give five stars but this is one of them. Use the right cleaner and follow the instructions. My accidentally bleached deck looks better than new!

I am not really one for writing reviews. But not to write one now would be an injustice. Normally I write a review when a product is terrible to warn future customers about a product that is not worthwhile. My only regret is that I did not have a picture before applying this product. For two summers I had a large inflatable pool on my deck in two different locations. Apparently the chlorinated water settled underneath the inflatable pool and bleached two huge white circular patches on my deck. I was devastated and bought a large straw mat to cover the bleached circles. The mat failed to cover these areas completely . My next alternative was to redo my composite deck which would be a small fortune which I did not bargain for. I found this product on Amazon and applied the two coats as suggested. Look at my brand new deck. The bleached areas are no longer apparent. Color went on yellow but dried to a beautiful brown. Truly a money 💰 saver!

The color is great but two problems. The smooth edge trim pieces don't hold the stain but the grainy pieces do okay. I definitely will have to add a second coat and I believe it will look great. I don't know what do do about the smooth edge pieces. I hope the second coat will help. Doing that tomorrow. Update on the second coat. All looks great except the smooth edges. There is a little bit of show-through and the new stain can be scratched off with my finger nail. Just have to be cautious and not slide anything on it. 2024 Update...The coating has started to fade and getting spotty. Made need a follow up coating. It is now Jan. 2025 and the coating is really fading badly. Not sure I want to apply it again. Not happy at this point.

Looks better in person. My deck is 13 yrs old. This is the 1st time I stained a composite deck. I had the deck power washed 1st. Tips: 1.You will need more than you think. I thought composite wouldn't absorb the stain as much. I read it was watery, so I got 1 gal. I needed 2.5. It absorbed like wood decking in my opinion. 2. It splashes easily. Prep with tape. I'll need to work on some of the white fascia to remove stain drips. 3. I did 2-3 coats over a few days. Also, stain shade may differ slightly from 1 gal to another. 4. Time will tell if this was worth it, but I'm very pleased with the result. My deck lost its luster, and this has definitely refreshed the color.

We’re recently bought and are renovating a farm house and while my husband does all the jobs I can’t do, I’m doing the ones I can do! So I decided to stain our 15 year old front porch. It was easy for me to figure out and Its making such a HUGE difference in the appearance. I’m ordering a second can because I think it will need a second coat on the floor where I used a roller. Love it!!!

The color is soooo off from what you see of the can (rich brown, chocolate tone) that it leaves you puzzled why Rust-oleum decided to call it “brown” . The reality is that it is very light, yellowish what is well known as a baby poop color. Truly misadvertised.

Was looking to refresh my Trex deck that had faded from brown to grey from after 8 years. Talked to the manufacturer and they recommended filing a claim for new boards. I didn’t want to spend the time and money to replace the deck. I found this product and deck cleaner on line. I followed the directions and am absolutely thrilled with the results. See before and after photo.

I see that a lot of people had issues with matching the correct color for their composite decks, but this was perfect match to our Trex deck with the lighter brown color. It was starting to fade and look a little funky. Another year or so and things woulda gotten bad + all the stains from potted plants and other outdoor junk as well. After a pressure washing (and it still looked bad) we applied this with a roller in the evening and laid it down THICK on the main floor area. The next day it was a little sticky still but able to walk a little. By the evening it was ready to have the furniture back on. The seal itself restored this amazingly well. It looks brand new again. It's highly water repellent and and has a really smooth feel on bare feet. We're very happy with the look and hope this holds up for a few years before re-applying.

Confirm the colour you’re looking for. This was much lighter than I was expecting
