How can I achieve an immediate weathered appearance with a low maintenance finish?

Bleaching or weathering stains are available from several manufacturers. These provide a uniform driftwood gray appearance in six to twelve months. Periodic applications of a clear water repellent with mildewcide are recommended after the weathered look is achieved. These finishes can be used on decks, fences, siding or other exterior projects.
