I have used Austin Quality Fence Staining for my deck and fences. They did an excellent job and finished each project in a day. I also recommend using Sikkens brand stain as it will really last. You can only get it at two places in Austin, one of them is ABC Paint on South Congress (close to intersection with Stassney). You can go on line to see the wide variety of stain color choices which may vary depending upon the type of wood. You can also see sample boards in the store. Hope that helps.
