Has your once new and beautiful deck lost its appeal and is now looking a bit worn out and in need of some TLC? Proper deck maintenance is the key to a great looking deck year-round.
There are a few things to consider when deciding the right time to maintain your deck. For example, an uncovered deck will need more frequent maintenance than a deck that is covered and mostly shielded from the elements.
Sanding and oiling will prolong the life of your deck. In order to remove damaged and splintered wood from your existing deck, it might be necessary to sand the deck before applying any oils or stains. The deck must be smooth, clean and free of debris before applying a stain or oil.
Once your deck has been properly sanded and cleaned, allow the deck to dry fully and then apply oil with an applicator, roller or large brush. If your deck is in good condition, one coat will do! For best results we recommend you oil your timber deck every 6 to 12 months. This will ensure longevity and keep your deck looking great for longer.
