epoxy vs stain

[nealcarm]

I have approximately 1200 square feet of new concrete that I would like to protect. It is all under roof, but open to the elements. Part of the area will be a screened in porch(260 sq ft), the remaining sq ft are used for parking a motorhome and cars. I live in central Florida.....should I use stain, epoxy, out just leave it alone? All thoughts appreciated.....

Well. . .you said you want to protect it. Stain will make it a pretty color. Thats it. So, if you want to protect it I'd come up with another option.

I have no idea what kind of products hold up to UV and the elements but I'm sure the vendors that freuqent this site can point you in the right direction.

I love the look of stained concrete with a clear coat over it. I know Legacy Industrial has a great system for that but I don't know about outdoor application.

Neal, hello fellow Floridian.
You can acid stain the floor and seal with a sealer built for the exterior.
In addition, we are launching an exterior dye next week which can resemble acid stain without the acid. Check the links below.
