Solid penetrating stains or semi-solid stains with an opaque color are the best to protect pool decks. You can apply sealer with a brush, roller or a mop on larger deck surfaces. Use a paintbrush for smaller areas such as railings and the wood edge next to the pool. Push the sealer between gaps on all boards to coat the sides and prevent wood rotting in the joints.
There's more room for expression in decks you can play and the card pool is large enough to keep you interested for a long time. You can still make headway with a moderate budget (if you don't expect to play a top deck right away) and enjoy the action until you figure out what you really want to commit to in terms of a more expensive deck.
