Planning to install a new deck? If yes, you need to know about four easy ways to maintenance your deck. Read now to learn what to do to keep your deck in top shape.
Most decks are made of wood and have to be taken care of in particular ways. For longevity as well as aesthetics, preservative should be applied to wood decks. The preservative can be semi-transparent stain or clear.
Stain is likely to change the color of your wood while a clear preservative will darken and enrich the natural color of the wood. Make sure your deck has UV protection to look its best and prolong its life span.
Decks should be cleaned once or twice a year. It could be more depending on exposure to weather and use. Mildew should be removed when cleaning and a new coat of preservative should be applied.
A pressure washer helps to remove surface dirt, mold and mildew.
