I'm not on a DIY or related forum, so I figured I'd ask a random question here.
I recently stripped the old stain off my wood deck. It's my first deck, built by the previous owners so I'm clueless. I can't seem to find a stretch of 3-4 dry days to clean, dry, and re-stain.
My question is: is there any harm in leaving it unfinished without any protection (stain or paint) for weeks or even months? I know these finishes say "UV and weather protection" so I didn't know if we're talking days, months or years before the wood start to split or become damaged in some way.
