Not computer literate enough to point you where you asked. Thge benfits of stain/paint on a deck is protection from the elements. Stain can let the grain show through and comes in many colors, is easy to apply and can usually be done with 1 coat. Paint requires primer, may be slippery when wet and is apt to peel when weathered.
