Yes. The roller can leave stain and make it uneven or leave lines. You should back brush to even it out. Back brushing is going over an area with a brush while the stain is wet. This brushing will even out the color and remove heavy deposits if stain. Do only a few boards at a time. Don't apply too fast.

Remember to immediately follow with a brush to even out the color and spread any heavy areas around.

Yes, you can use a roller to apply stain to a deck. It can be an efficient and effective method for larger surface areas. Just make sure to evenly spread the stain and work in small sections to avoid overlap marks.

Is a deck pad or roller better for staining a deck?

It depends a lot on the type of wood you are staining. The last one I stained was made of very smooth pine planking. This was ideal for the pad and my stain went on very smoothly and quickly. I've done others where the wood was not so smooth and in thse cases a roller worked better.

How can we stain our deck to look like it is a redwood deck?

There is two options to change your current deck to look like a redwood deck, the professional way which is a more costly option or the "DIY" way which is more labor intensive. Hardware stores like The HomeDepot, Lowes, or Ace Hardware sell a variety of different outdoor wood stains that can be used on your deck. You first have to sand your your current deck until it has reached a smooth and even surface. The stain is then poured into a painting pan and applied with a paint roller, let each coat dry FULLY and reapply coats of the stain until your desired color is reached. Good luck on your at home project!
