Does it need to be stained? Is it water resistant?

It does not need to be stained. It is made of cedar wood which is somewhat water resistant, but as all wood it will decay eventually. I am hoping my raised beds will last several years.

I don't think it needs to be stained...although I'm not particularly knowledgeable about that kind of thing. I would be hesitant about staining it if you are doing organic gardening, which I am. I've had mine for one growing season now and it has done well with water.

Yes it can be stained but be sure you put at varnish over it when the stain dries

Yes and no. It's unfinished without colored stain, but it's nicely finished with a smooth finish on all surfaces. I'm more than happy with the natural color.

It is stained but not waterproofed the best that I can tell. The rain water doesn't bead up on it

It could def be stained, but keep in mind it has a greenish-gray under-hue. Maybe a dark stain?

It won't rust, but if you leave it wet in your sink, you'll get a few spots that will polish right out. I would call it stain-resistant.

It does not need to be stained. It looks very good as it ages. Also staining may leach chemicals into the bed and pollute the vegies.

It is very durable. I have it by my sink and it geta wet all the time with no problems. It hasn't stained ir faded so far. I avoid putting hot pans on it for fear of burning it. Hope this helps.

It's made of a polyester, cloth-like material. I don't think it would stain easily, and you could likely clean it with a sponge and detergent. It's not waterproof though.

No, it appears to be water and stain resistant, but it does get wet with significant liquid.

yes. Mine looks just like that picture. The color/stain is not deep. It has not marred yet, but I have protected it.

I'd say it's resistant but not water proof. I've taken it out in the pouring rain and everything inside has stayed dry, but I'd be afraid to drench it just in case.

It is made of composite and I do not think it could be stained. Hope this helps.

We had the same question before bought it. And I am glad to say that it is stain proof so far. Tomato sauce, coffee, that forgotten bowl of mystery food found in the back of the fridge, none of it has stained the sink. It cleans up with very little effort. We are very pleased with this sink.

I'm sorry, I've only used it once so far. Yesterday it rained a little and the few drops I got on the jacket seemed to bead and roll off, no stains yet. I will know as I use the jacket more in the future!

It is clear liquid. Other than leaving an oily spot, I don't think it will stain.

This chair is water resistant, but not stain resistant. You may use Scotchgard if you'd like extra protection.
