Introducing Woodcare Planner

With our Woodcare Planner online tool, beginning a stain project has never been easier. Simply launch the app in any browser, from your desktop or right from your phone (no downloading required), and answer a few quick questions about the condition of your wood to get started.

​You have the opportunity to visualize stain colors and transparencies on different decks, fences, structures, exterior furniture or siding  projects, and get a product recommendation generated specifically for your project.

Woodcare Planner delivers staining tips and gives you the option to email your results for later reference. Built for DIYers with any level of experience, this powerful assistant takes the guesswork out of staining.

Launch Woodcare Planner

It all starts with what you plan on staining. Woodcare Planner has quick options for a deck, fence, exterior furniture, siding/shingles, or structures (like a pergola or a gazebo).

We'll still be able to walk you through whatever your project may be, but those tend to be the most common.

Next, we'll need to know:

• What kind of wood you're working with

• What it looks like now 

Our diverse product offering has something special for nearly every type and condition of wood, so it's important that we understand exactly what to recommend.

We'll ask you questions about the condition of your wood:

• How much wood grain is showing

• What look you would like to achieve

You might have a new deck with unfinished, pressure treated lumber, or an old cedar gazebo that's grown weathered. The possibilities are vast but we've designed Woodcare Planner with that diversity in mind.

Learn About Products for Damaged Wood

Once you have answered all the questions, you'll get to pick from all of our stain color offerings and Woodcare Planner will give you a small glimpse of how it might look on your wood.

We know we have a lot of colors to choose from, so we've made it fast and easy to switch between them as they catch your eye.

Depending on the condition of your wood, you'll be able to choose from a clear, protective coating to full coverage with a solid color stain.
