Bought it over five years ago thinking I'd use it that summer. Found it in the garage still in the box with the receipt taped to it. Pulled it out tonight and put it to work on a 26 x 26 foot deck that was very thirsty. Had 1/3 of it done in less than an hour with solid stain. I love it, fast work of a job I wasn't looking forward to doing and not messy at all.
This was an excellent purchase: The value and the functionality can't be beat. I was able to stain my deck quickly and evenly. The one problem I had (MY FAULT))was the pad would come off if I hit a rough spot on the deck, so make sure you have a smooth surface. Thanks Wagner!
Recommend this applicator to anyone. Saves time and effort, minimal mess to clean, no back injuries. THe best part is the amount of stain used. I rejuvenated my deck which is dark colour ebony with 2 coats and used half the stain I did originally using brushes and regular pad applicators. So easy to use. If it starts to pool just turn the flow off and spread out the excess evenly. This is my first (and probably last) product review.
It takes me (with the help of family) hours to stain, using a brush, the large dock and even larger deck at our cottage. With my Deckmate I get the job done in a fraction of the time, with much less effort, and the results are excellent. It's easy to clean and has stood up well to repeated use. For critics who say that the Deckmate is gimmicky, I say 'sometimes gimmicks work'.
We put the first coat on the deck in the spring with a roller and it took all day and broke our backs. Saw the Deckmate and thought we would try it - it is fabulous. Took about 1/2 an hour to do the largest portion of the deck - used about 1/2 of the gallon. Easy to use, easy to clean up - we would highly recommend this product!!
This is a great product. My husband and I are older than 60, and this allows us to do the staining our selves with out hurting for a week afterwards. looks great and easy..
I just finished a 10 x 12 deck. For me, the flow control was the problem, even with the lowest setting the stain flowed out way too much. I had to turn it off and spread out the stain before turning it back on again. I used Cabot's Semi-Solid stain so the stain is not too thin. It also did not put stain between the boards very well, you would think with the increased stain flow there would be enough stain to cover in-between the boards. Next time I will use what the stain dealer recommended....a good brush with a handle that allows a broom handle to be screwed into it. Dip the brush into the stain can and apply with the brush as if sweeping the floor. This would have also allowed me to put a heavy deposit where I needed a heavy deposit and a regular coat in other areas. But I can understand with a very large deck this would be a lot of work. I also had trouble with the Deck Mate getting under the railing area, I had to go back the next day and hand brush those areas. Since I recently had a back injury I thought the Deck Mate was going to be the ticket for this job but the results are less than satisfactory in my opinion.
I bought the DeckMate product to stain my deck. unfortunately, the product did not perform as expected, not even close. I couldn't get enough stain to come out and the little brushes did nothing to get in between the boards, even once I got it flowing a little better. It took me 3 hours to stain about 50 sq ft. I finished the job with a 4" paint brush in 4 hours (250 sq ft) with much better results.
Could not control the flow. And yes I assembled it right and followed the directions and watched you tube videos. So Wagner, don't try and give me excuses for it. The brush that is suppose to get between the boards is not effective. Barely worked at all. Because of the flow problem I ended up with blotches and drips. What was suppose to save me 2/3 the time cost me triple the time cuz I ended up doing the old fashion way. Paint brush and elbow grease. WASTE OF MONEY!!!!
This is a useless gimmick of a tool. Brushing it out is the only way to finish a deck without the product failing.This gimmick could be used to get the stain onto the wood but you have penetrate the stain into the wood by brushing with a good brush. But if you don't prep the deck properly it doesn't matter what you use, anything will fail within a year. The way to properly do it is to sand the deck, pressure washing can damage the wood and when your done pressure washing you'll have to sand anyways. It also depends on the stain you're using. Buying inexpensive stain could lead to more work down the road. Do it right the first time and you won't be disappointed. Do it wrong the first time and you'll be paying for it year in and year out.
