Here's an example of how simple concrete pool deck stain can change the appearance of your backyard living space.


This was just a regular ol' broom finished concrete pool deck. We removed a few grease stains and then pressure washed the entire surface. Then we got some water based acrylic concrete stain (terra cotta) and diluted it with about 30% water. We cut all the edges and coping with a brush and then rolled on a heavy application. This took approximately 2 gallons of stain for 700 sq ft. You could see some of the roller marks so we used a third gallon of stain and applied it with a plastic pump sprayer.
After drying completely, we rolled on a coat of clear solvent based acrylic sealer. What a difference this easy project makes. And we don't have to worry about it peeling or flaking away in the future. A quick reapplication of sealer every 2 or 3 years and this finish will last a long time.
The difference is like night and day. Once you add furniture, flowers, or any other outdoor decor, it becomes a very inviting and enjoyable backyard living space.
