Evaluate finish each spring and maintain as needed.

What happens if it rains on freshly oiled deck?
Once you are within the time frame recommended for a second coat try applying stain in an inconspicuous spot to see if it fixes the rain damage.

Both oils and stains have their own distinct advantages. Essentially, what differentiates oils from stains is that a stain will improve the appearance of the deck by changing the timber colour; while an oil will enhance the current colour if you are wanting to leave your wood as is.
Can I oil my deck at night?
The same rules apply; it’s best to wait until your deck is cool to coat it, as that’s when stains and oils penetrate it best. Don’t coat your deck if it’s under the beating sun; either wait for an overcast day or until the sun isn’t directly on the wood.
