This one's worth the trip to the store.

Brands like Weber, Milwaukee, Yeti, and DeWalt restrict where their products can be sold online — and for good reason. In-store buyers get authentic products, full manufacturer warranty, and access to pricing that simply isn't allowed to be advertised on the web.

  • Authorized dealer network · Full manufacturer warranty & support
  • Guaranteed authentic · No counterfeits, no gray-market resellers
  • The brands set these standards · Be wary of sellers who don't follow them

About Product Overview

CWF-UV from Flood is a fully-transparent wood finish built for outdoor surfaces that take a beating from sun and weather. The water-based, low-VOC formula soaks into the wood grain while adding UV resistance and water repellency, so decks, fences, and siding hold their look instead of graying out after one season.

This 5-gallon container in Cedar covers 150-250 square feet, giving you enough product to handle a full deck or fence line in one pass. It goes on with a brush, roller, or sprayer, whichever suits the job, and dries to a matte sheen that keeps the natural wood texture visible rather than looking like a coating sitting on top.

Recoat window is 120 minutes and full cure takes 24 hours, so plan your application around dry weather. Backed by 4 years of durability, it's suited for homeowners and pros who want a finish that protects without hiding the wood underneath.

Every order helps keep your local hardware store on the corner.

Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.

Ask our counter. Or theirs.

Most hardware stores can do more than you think. If we can't help you, the folks down the street probably can — just ask at the counter.

Their Counter
Try local first · we'll wait

The stores we send you to are local and independently run — often for generations, the kind of place where someone behind the counter knows the regulars. We don't own them. We just think they deserve the foot traffic. They can put most of what we sell on their next truck. Ask there before you check out here.

About our directory. National Hardware Group is an independent retailer and directory. The local stores we list and link to are separately owned and operated — we have no ownership stake in any of them, and most pay us nothing to be included. That includes plenty of stores flying a familiar banner that people don't realize are locally owned and run, not operated by a corporation. Store owners can choose to upgrade their listing for an enhanced presence or pickup features, but the base directory is free, and inclusion is never a paid endorsement.
