When I was contacted by Flood® Wood Care to try out their new product, I did a little dance because I definitely had some wood that needed some care. Behold, my terrifying gate:
This picture, sadly, makes it look about 10,000 times better than it actually was. Splintered and fading, this pathetic thing is literally three feet away from our front door. Doesn’t make for much of a grand entrance. We haven’t done anything to it since we’ve lived here, other than replace a broken board a few months ago. See if you can spot it. (You totally can).
Anyway, the time had come to do something about this eyesore, so I hurried myself down to The Home Depot to pick up some Flood® OneCoat Waterproofing Finish and get going!
THEN, while I was The Home Depot, I saw this cute little unfinished Adirondack bench and thought that might make a more exciting redo for your viewing pleasure than my crusty old gate, plus it was on sale, so I brought that home too.
Tada! I was very pleased with this product, it was much different that any other stain I’ve ever used. It was a lot thicker and went on just like paint, instead of a typical runny stain. It was such a simple process. I just used a regular paintbrush, but you can use a roller or a sprayer too. Whatever floats your boat. It also dried very quickly, but that might be because it was about 109 degrees that day.
I LOVE that it protects the wood! It didn’t really sink in what it meant by “waterproofing” until I accidentally sprayed with the hose later and was wowed by how effectively it repelled water. We chose the cedar color by default, because that was all our Home Depot had in stock, but I think walnut would be pretty too.
Flood also has a several great prep products available too, if your project requires it, like Flood Wood Finish Remover and Flood Cleaner/Brightener Concentrate. Perfect for decks, play-sets, fences, you name it!
Oh, and for the grand finale, here is my stained and waterproofed gate:
I think the neighbors cried.

June 15, 2012 at 12:54 PMOur large wrap around porch needs to be stained and sealed extremely bad!! I love that this is thicker and you only have to use one coat. Doing a large area would take a lot of time if you had to do 2-3 coats.
Thanks for the chance to win!

Would love to give this a try!

June 15, 2012 at 1:50 PMNice job! We have a beast of a playset in the backyard that could definitely use some waterproofing and staining. And probably and entire overhaul and taking away to the dump, but that’s another story.

Emma Lou
June 15, 2012 at 5:52 PMThe previous owner of our home (we’ve been here just about 6 months now) painted ALL of the exterior woodwork (front porch, back deck, and the backyard fence) this horrific orange. Maybe she was going for a cedar-like color? But no, it’s just orange. I can’t wait to make it pretty!
Jenn
June 15, 2012 at 5:52 PMMy deck needs a total re-do, but a single can of this stuff isn’t gonna cut it. BUT… I have this great little wooden cart that would be perfect for the aforementioned deck AND if it were stained and waterproofed, it would be PERFECT!

June 15, 2012 at 6:40 PMOh, pick me, pick me.
Your Before gate picture is WAY better than my gate. I’ve been wondering if there’s something I could do to help it. The scorching AZ sun and sprinklers do quite a number on my old wood gate.
I’d even allow you to help me apply the product. Yeah, I’m generous like that.

June 15, 2012 at 12:21 PMOur house has these sad, ugly wood handrails on the front and back steps. I know the previous owner put them up just to get the house up to code, so beauty was not a priority for him. We plan to eventually replace them, but some stain in the meantime would go a long way to reconciling me to their presence.

He picked the project to meet a boy scout merit badge requirement, his last badge before Eagle. The swingset is only 5 years old but has been well loved by younger brother and sister. Maybe this product would make it last until little bro is done with it!

June 16, 2012 at 5:49 PMMy Dad makes all sorts of wood items. Benches, chairs, planters, random boxes…. there is an endless supply of items that need staining and protecting. I would be so happy to test this out.

June 17, 2012 at 2:10 AMOooh!!! I really need to spruce up the play structure in the back yard. Almost finished sanding the splinters & would love to return it to something that is NOT an eyesore! Thanks!

June 17, 2012 at 5:02 AMIt’s a toss-up! Our barn is wood. And trying to live through a combination of horses and Arizona heat plus monsoons (since we actually get rain down in Tucson) is hard on the wood! Normal wood protection doesn’t seem to last long out here. The front doors have nice metals signs which have that same kind of dripping metal effect as your gate onto the wood…
And then there’s the table which was originally a gift from my family when I bought my first house, but which is now the place to put my water while I ride my horse so I can reach it without getting off. Since it has been relegated to outdoors it could really use some help,t oo.

June 17, 2012 at 4:54 PM“Flood Review”… the title caught me as we are bouncing back from losing our home last August because of flooding from hurricane Irene. Flood Wood Care Products are the good kind of “floods”. 😉
Most everything we have now are hand me downs and we have an outdoor table, 2 chairs and a bench that would love to be wrapped in a Flood waterproofing product. Thank you & love how your projects came out!

June 17, 2012 at 10:39 AMOh my, perhaps this is a prayer answered. I have spent the last 10 days trying to clean, prep, sand and get a 800 sq. foot, 15 year old deck in shape by my lonesome!! I am DESPERATE beyond belief and am needing to get some stain on this deck like yesterday. I have been contemplating brands, colors,etc. Maybe Flood is the answer??

June 17, 2012 at 9:12 PMHey! Your seat & fence look fab – love hearing about a thicker stain product, thanks! As for the giveaway, I love the Steve Madden Starr bedding! (and the Hilfiger All American Classic for my son!) Have a fab wk/nd 🙂 Julie

June 17, 2012 at 7:18 PMOur deck is in need of some serious lovin’ and this would certainly fit the bill! I’ve never heard of this product–thanks!

June 17, 2012 at 7:23 PMThanks for introducing me to Flood — this is exactly what we need for some fencing, flower boxes, & other wood projects needing waterproofing.

June 17, 2012 at 8:13 PMPerfect timing of your review, our two sets of spa steps have seen better days and with the abuse of the water and AZ heat. Would love to try this new product!

June 17, 2012 at 11:17 PMI would love to use this stuff on my outdoor rattan patio set, I picked it up at an estate sale for super cheap (because it needs a major makeover) but haven’t gotten around to doing it yet! This would definitely motivate me.

Becca
June 18, 2012 at 1:56 AMJust finished painting our entire home (even the floors), we are going to be focusing on the deck next. I’ve been researching paint for the project and that sounds like the best option, since I hate runny stain. Thanks for the info!

June 18, 2012 at 1:57 PMI have lots of things that need to be stained but if I won a free gallon I would use it on my friend’s 3-level wheelchair ramp that really needs to be stained and sealed. It’s been unfinished since he had it built about 3 years ago and it is weathering badly. It’s the only way he can enter and exit his home. Jo @ Let’s Face the Music
