Protecting outdoor wood trim when staining deck ?
I need to stain my deck. There is a good amount of wood siding and screen porch 2x4 meeting the deck.
Is there a painters tape that works well on such rough surfaces? Also, don't want to strong of an adhesion otherwise I pint the siding...

I'm not fond of using tape as it can give a false sense of security. A rough surface makes it difficult/impossible to get a good seal with the tape. You'd probably be better off using some sort of shield.

I know of no tape that will work on a rough surface. At best you'll get a good bit of wicking underneath the tape. I would stain similar to painting and cut the edges in carefully.

Use a ruler or painter's-straight-edge to keep a fine line between the deck and siding/porch.
