Decks, Siding & Outdoor Wood

Benjamin Moore Arborcoat

Premium waterborne exterior stain that protects and beautifies decks, siding, fences, and railings, backed by expert advice from your Upper East Side neighbors.

When deck and fence season arrives, New York Paint & Hardware reaches for Benjamin Moore Arborcoat. As an authorized Benjamin Moore dealer since 1986, we stock this premium waterborne exterior stain for every kind of outdoor wood project, and we help Manhattan homeowners and contractors choose exactly the right finish for their wood and their look.

Built for Outdoor Wood

Arborcoat is Benjamin Moore’s premium waterborne exterior stain, formulated for decks, siding, fences, railings, and outdoor wood of all kinds. It delivers durable, lasting protection against the things that age and damage exposed wood, including weather, moisture, and the fading effects of UV exposure. That makes it a spring and summer favorite, just when New Yorkers are ready to bring their decks, porches, and fences back to life.

A Range of Opacities

One of Arborcoat’s great strengths is choice. It comes in a range of opacities, from clear and translucent to semi-transparent, semi-solid, and solid, so you can show off the natural wood grain or cover it to the degree you want. A translucent finish lets character and grain shine through, while a solid stain offers the most color and the greatest coverage of weathered or mismatched wood. Not sure which opacity suits your project? Come in and we will walk you through the options.
