Anyone ever stained outdoor patio concrete?

It's not hard at all. Just takes time. Has to be cleaned really well, outdoor primer/sealant (some brands have both in the mixture). Two coats or maybe three. Takes a while but it looks good. Did this with my wife's salon.

Which brings me to my next question, should I seal it to protect it from other stains?

Concrete is very porous. So it'll soak up a lot of sealer.

Simple. YouTube.

It's really easy. Just use a roller on a extension pole.

I think I used Eagle Gloss Coat. It's not discontinued but you can only buy it online now, I think.

I had stained concrete floors is a previous house. We loved them but they did require some maintenance. Did you have to wax the floors at wife's salon? My wife did ours once a month or so (maybe longer than that I don't remember). I do recall that right after the wax was applied they looked incredible.

I doubt the outdoor stuff would need to be waxed but IDK.

We do about once a month but as you can imagine it's tough when hair is always everywhere. They do require work and care but it's kind of cool knowing you can just add a coat after a good cleaning and boom you have new-looking floors again.

I bet the hair is frustrating a bit. But yes I agree, after the wax is applied they look spectacular.
