Thanks, @dcg9381 . Interested to hear what @LegacyIndustrial suggests. I think we'd avoid the PMMA seeing as we have a pool and it can get pretty wet in summer and we've already had a few spills. Want to try and thread the needle between a good looking patio, but not so slick that it's a...

Is the HD-6600-MMA an acrylic sealer? I googled a bit and looks pretty high gloss. If you were me, how would you handle the patio in the photos? Power wash, stain and water-based sealer as needed (every 1-2 years)? Sounds like I may have to DIY as $2k a year or every other will add up!

Did you have your patio stained too? I had my broom finish concrete pool coping sealed last year. I regret it. Slippery now for the kiddos. Think I'm just going to stop sealing all together.

I'll admit I don't know the answer. Whether it's sealed or not I don't really care, but I do want the color to look nice. Maybe you can share what you'd do? I think dropping ~$2k every year for a new round of power washing, antiquing and/or sealing is a racket. Here is the patio 3 years ago...

I can't remember the antiquing stain he used but the sealer was Deco Guard, which I understand is water-based. I am finding the stain leaves with the sealant. The areas impacted were under snow all winter so weren't disturbed by anything, which is why I was surprised. I think the original...

Thank you, @Treeman ! This is super helpful. Thank you so much! Going to take @Kaizen advice and get a borescope to take a look. I've used the drain before when I washed the garage floor and it took hours to drain. Guessing the outflow is clogged. @Jagmandave 80" so far this year, which...

Hi All - Hope this is the right spot for this. I have south facing stamped concrete patio that's ~1k sqft and was here when we bought the house, but probably ~12 years old. Previous owners did not keep up with staining / sealing. Last June, we hired a contractor to power wash, stain and seal...

Hi All - Searched the threads here and didn't find an answer. Purchased a house and it has this drain in the garage, except it doesn't actually act as a drain. Seems there is some kind of pipe in the middle and a hole of sort as well. I'm not sure if it needs to be cleaned out or not ...
