yes you can. You need to prep the wood correctly first. Start off be applying chlorine to the wood and pressure clean, running the length of the boards so you dont make marks. Stopping in the middle will make a mark so run fully across. Then apply a conditioner to the wood, Behr conditioner for decks to open the pores on the wood and brighten back to original, in areas that the stain has wore off. Then apply 2 coats evenly. After first coat, apply second when the first is tacky. If not the stain will repel the second coat. If your deck has existing stain and spots have wore completely off, you will see the difference, so go darker, of go to a solid for of stain, percect consistance, lasts long time. Remember stain semi or solid, no paint.

Hope this helps.

I would not recommend staining over stained wood. First of all, it all depends on the type of stain that is covering the wood deck. There are three types of deck stains out there:

  • Oil-based
  • Latex-based
  • Waterborne

Although it is okay to stain on top of oil-based and latex-based stains, there is a possibility that the result will be darker than you expect it to be. Personally, I would never stain on top of the old stain. I would remove the old stain first.

To remove the old stain

  1. Clean the wood from any dirt or mildew (use pressure-washer for that)
  2. Apply stain stripper with the use of a regular brush and let it there for up to 15 minutes.
  3. Use a hard bristle to take the old stain off.
  4. Neutralize the stain stripper either with a ready made chemical, or by using a mixture of vinegar and water.

After that you just need to apply a new coat of stain. There is no need to sand the wood surface as stain stripper does the job pretty well.

Depends on the type of stain and wood. I would recommend you sand the original stain off (this should take 5 - 10 mins with a power sander and some 120 or 240 grit paper) then wipe clean with a cloth before applying the other stain.

There is no point, stain is meant to go over bare wood.

Generally not. Most stains need to absorb into the concrete. If it just sits on the surface of the sealer, the stain will likely easily wear away.

No, stain has to penetrate the surface to be effective.
