No, concrete stain is not suitable for use on wood decks. Concrete stain is formulated for porous surfaces like concrete and may not adhere properly to wood, potentially leading to peeling or flaking. If you want to enhance the color of a wood deck, it's best to use a wood stain or sealant specifically designed for that purpose, ensuring better adhesion and protection.
