Stain colors the wood,the top coat determines the sheen. It requires a great deal of maintenance to stain and varnish anything that is used outdoors. You might be better off painting. | ||

Sanding is very important. My last project i used a random orbital sander with 220 grit and a final run with 400 grit. I like to see the sheen on the wood befor the stain goes on. On a painted surface 220 may be ok. but be safe always sand down a peice of scrap and do a finish. test it out | ||
