Most homeowners say they were able to apply this sealer in one day. The water-based formula can be applied with a paint pad, brush, sprayer, or roller. There’s no need for you to stir the product before applying it to your project.

It dries in two hours. Each gallon offers 150 to 400 square feet of coverage.

A single coat protects wooden decks for three years and wooden fences and siding for four years.

This maximum strength waterproofer produces long-lasting beading. Not to mention, it helps stop mold growth and damage from UV rays.

A Few Issues

Rain Guard Premium Water Sealer is fortified by Micro-Lok, proprietary additives that allow the wood to absorb this solvent-based sealant. It creates a powerful hydrophobic barrier. Once treated, wood can not be affected by anything. According to the manufacturer, this barrier is impervious to rain, UV light, freezing temperatures, salt, dirt, and more.

This sealer can be used on virtually all porous wood surfaces. It is completely clear. As such, it will not alter nor enhance the appearance of wood. The formula is safe to use around people, pets, and plants. What’s more, it’s ready to use right out of the package.

Effective

A single gallon of Rain Guard Water Sealer can cover as much as 200 square feet of wood. Keep in mind that you need to apply at least two flood coats to achieve maximum protection. Temperatures must be somewhere between 40 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit at the time of application. The manufacturer recommends that you apply Rain Guard Watersealer using a low-pressure airless sprayer, such as those used for lawn and garden products.

This impressive product repels water.

It protects exterior wood from rot and decay. What’s more, it stops the spread of mildew, mold, and more. This product works well on wood, but it can also be applied to a variety of other surfaces, including driveways, exterior walls, and walkways.

Fights Against Sunlight

This formula contains UV-blocking stabilizers. The sealer will not yellow from exposure to sunlight. A single application is good for at least five years. Rain Guard’s five-year guarantee backs up this claim.

Keep in mind that you can touch and walk lightly on this sealer after just two hours. You should leave it for at least 10 hours before allowing heavy foot traffic on the sealer. It takes roughly a week for the sealer to cure completely.

The powerful Rain Guard formula manages to do all this while remaining 100% eco-friendly. This water-based, low-VOC, low-odor formula is safe to apply. The main ingredients include a silane siloxane blend, Micro-Lok, and water.

A Few Limitations

Don’t expect to use this sealer on painted wood. According to the manufacturer, painted surfaces are a no-go for Rain Guard products. Since it’s only available in clear, colored tints are off-limits too. Since it is completely colorless and texture-free, you wouldn’t even know it’s there. Some consumers add colorants to the mixture to darken or tint it.

PROS

  • Guaranteed coverage for up to five years
  • 200 square feet of coverage per gallon
  • Contains advanced UV stabilizers
  • Long-lasting, non-yellowing formula

How to Choose the Best Outdoor Wood Sealer. Some Real-Life Tips

Now that you are familiar with some of the top exterior wood sealers, you’re probably wondering how to choose one for your project. Keep in mind that some products are designed to work on specific kinds of wood.

Waterproofing

Best Outdoor Wood Sealer Waterproofing
Your exterior wood sealer must offer some sort of protection against water. Even chemically treated posts and composite decking are susceptible to water damage. Wood will rot and warp after excessive exposure to moisture. A waterproof coating will preserve the appearance and integrity of exterior wood surfaces. A quality waterproofer will cause beading. Click here to read our article about waterproofing your basement walls.

Other Protections

Many exterior wood sealers contain UV-blocking additives, such as zinc particulates. Exposed wood surfaces will become faded and discolored after prolonged exposure to ultraviolet light. Sunlight can also cause exterior wood surfaces to split and warp.

Some products also prevent dark stains caused by mildew, fungi, and dirt.

Formula Basics

Many homeowners prefer to work with clear water-based sealers. These products do not alter the appearance of wood. They also tend to contain less chemical solvents. As a result, they are environmentally friendly and safe for use around kids and pets.

On the other hand, polyurethane sealants are made up of resins and sealants. They are not as eco-friendly as water-based products. However, they are undeniably durable. Not to mention, you can easily clean them with a mixture of soap and water.

Keep in mind that some formulas penetrate the wood, while others sit on the surface. Penetrating sealers seep into porous surfaces. They do not alter the appearance or sheen of wood. They tend to last longer than films. After all, films are constantly exposed to feet traffic, touch, and other potentially abrasive and damaging movements.

Aesthetics

Aesthetics Outdoor Wood Sealer
Most wood sealers fall into one of three categories: clear, semi-transparent, and tinted. You can choose a sealer than preserves the natural look of wood or one that brightens the wood’s appearance. Some sealants add color while still showing off some of the wood’s natural grain. It’s important to choose a sealer that will not yellow or develop blush.

Furthermore, look for a sealant that will not flake or peel over time.

Solid stains tend to offer more coverage than clear and semi-transparent sealers. Of course, the latter finishes do an excellent job of showing off wood’s natural texture and grain.

Ease of Use

Always allow the wood to dry before applying sealer. Waterproof barriers work both ways. Moisture trapped under a coat of sealant is especially detrimental. Wood should also be cleaned before it is sealed. In some cases, you will need to strip the surface of the preexisting finish.

Use Outdoor Wood Sealer

Coverage

Check the expected coverage rate of your exterior wood sealer. Use that ratio (typically the number of square feet per gallon) to determine how many bottles of product you need to complete your project. Keep in mind that most exterior wood sealers dry quickly, leaving behind a durable film. You may need to rent a power sprayer if you have a lot of areas to cover. You might also want to consider the total cost of the product when tackling a large exterior project.


Keep in mind that coverage rates are often impacted by the porosity and condition of the wood. Older, softer woods require more product. Whereas, the product spreads more evenly on new hardwood.

FAQs

FAQs Best Outdoor Wood Sealer

When should I use sealer?

All exterior wood should be sealed. Some people even choose to apply sealant under alternative finishes. Exterior wood structures are especially sustainable to UV and water damage. You can extend the life and look of your decks, fences, and other exterior wood projects with a sealant.

Can you apply wood sealer to wet wood?

Some sealants can be applied to wet wood. However, it is always preferable to apply a sealant to clean, dry surfaces. Read instructions thoroughly to ensure you prep and apply your sealant in the best possible manner.

How often do decks need to be sealed?

In most cases, decks need to be resealed every three years. You can perform a simple splash test to see if water beads up on the surface of the wood. If the water penetrates the wood, it’s time to apply a new coat of sealer. Many homeowners overlook the need to seal chemically treated and composite woods. If your exterior deck or fence is fading, warping, or rotting, then it is already succumbing to the elements.

How should I apply deck sealer?

The answer to this question depends on what product you are using. In general, exterior wood sealants can be applied with a variety of painting tools, including brushes, rollers, pads, and sprayers. Most wood sealers dry rapidly. It is important to use an application method that you can perform quickly.

Thoroughly clean your deck before applying sealant. Dirt, debris, peeling paint, and even raised hardware will inhibit the sealant from forming a uniform coating. If possible, use a high-powered pressure washer to deep clean your deck before sealing it. Otherwise, clean and inspect your deck to identify and remedy any problem areas.

Why should I seal my exterior wood?

Natural wood is attractive, but it’s difficult to maintain the look of wood that is exposed to the elements. Sealants protect against aesthetic and integral issues. Sealed wood is far less likely to crack, warp, rot, or split. It’s also less likely to change color or fade. A single bottle of wood sealant could help you avoid pouring thousands of dollars into future repairs.

      Wood sealers for interior use may come in handy if you have a wooden countertop adjacent to a sink in your kitchen, wooden furniture in your bathroom, or any other surfaces that come into contact with steam and water.

      It is also essential to protect all kinds of wooden projects with a sealing product before applying the final layer of topcoat or after that. Doing so will extend the object’s life, keep away mold, emphasize the wood’s natural beauty, and more. E.g., sealing stained wood won’t let it bleed.

      In this case, I would prefer the Thompsons WaterSeal Waterproofing Wood Protector. It perfectly matches your needs: this wood sealer is crystal clear, and it doesn’t affect the surface’s color in any way.

      Also, the product is focused on repelling water and preventing mildew, which is an excellent match, considering the bathroom’s humid conditions. Be sure to try out the sealer on a similar piece of wood to figure out how many layers you need to apply to achieve the desired finish and tone.

    Here’s the thing: I live on a coast, a couple of hundred yards from the sea, so the air is quite humid here. It rains often, and the sunny days are intense. On top of that, I’ve got a mahogany porch. I’ve tried several sealing products but had to remove them 2 years later – none of them has shown good results so far.

    Now I’m looking for a more durable coating that won’t make mahogany any darker or give me a hard time (re)applying it. It should also protect the porch from the mold. Could you recommend something like this?

      TotalBoat Lust Marine Varnish fits the bill if you ask me. Initially created for boats, this product will protect the porch from UV, salts, moisture, and mildew just fine. The original formula is somewhat thick, which can make it hard to apply. But it’s possible to water it down a bit to achieve a better flow.

    There’s a stained wooden table in my garden; it’s protected from the sun with an umbrella for the most part. To coat it, I used a urethane matte finish with a water-based formula. Turned out, it’s not suitable for outdoor use. Is there a product that can give the table the same smooth satin look and is okay to use outside? Can I apply it over this urethane coating?

    Reply
    • Richard Jenkins says

      August 18, 2020 at 2:46 pm

      I would recommend using Lust Marine Varnish, both High Gloss and Matte versions. First, you seal the urethane-covered tabletop with several layers of High Gloss (check beforehand, how many coats get you the desired color), and then apply a couple of finishing coats of the Matte varnish. There’s no need for sanding between layers. Voilá! Your garden furniture is now perfectly protected from sunlight and moisture.
