Yes, but not required. Because Forestar product is very low maintenance product and not required to painting or staining. Stains and paint are just adhere to the surface of our boards, and you may need to re-painting them periodically just like wood does if you still want to stain.

Forestar product will expand slightly with greatly temperature changes, especially when on the very hot day with a blazing sun. Forestar product, however, is applied unique formulations to minimize the effect from heat build-up. And there will be no big problems if you follow our .

If it gets marked or damaged, then the scratch can be softened and blended back into the deck using either Danish or Tung Oil. Please see our                                                    for more details.

Yes. Almost everything will fade over time when exposed to sunlight and other weather conditions. Forestar product is added high quality UV-inhibiting pigments and made from hardwood fibers in order to minimize the fading (softwood fades far more than hardwood), but there will still be some visible fade over first few months(the speed and degree of this fading depend on actual weather conditions) giving a more textured appearance. As with any timber based product, some fade will occur but the plastic content holds its colour. Any initial colour difference between boards is due to the natural colour variance in the wood fibers and once weathered, the boards will all be similar colour tone.
