| We had some of the flooring and rail tops of our 15 year old pressure treated pine deck replaced. I'd like to get it prepped and stain it with a semi-solid stain to get a uniform look (not really into too much wood grain appearance).
The new boards are blonde and the old are dark and gray. Should we use a stripper? A cleaner? A wood brightener? There's a little of the original semi-transparent stain on the spindles but it's pretty worn away on the floor boards. We are in Raleigh, NC. Deck is on the northside, but almost 100% full sun all day during the summer. |

| "Aerial" photo was taken when cloudy/rainy. That is not brown stain on the deck. It's dirty, weathered wood. Here is a dry, close-up. Will a power washer knock all that off or do I need a stripper and wood brightener? |
