    When it snows, I'm going to shovel my walk and driveway. So, how resistant to scraping is it?

      Great question!
      It really depends on how harsh the scraping. The benefit to stain on any exterior surface, is that it’s a penetrating product, not a coating, and for that reason it’s not victim to some of the moisture issues that are often problematic and cause future maintenance issues when coating a surface. The stain will hold up to normal wear and tear about the same as the surface that It’s applied to, that said overtime just like about all other exterior stains or coatings it will require re-coating. That’s the greatest benefit to stain verses paint, stain does not peel making future maintenance very simple and easy.

      I hope this helps, please feel free to comment for any additional information.
