Problem Solver - Decking
Other Problems
Decking is a timber horizontal area in the garden and tends to be notched for better non slip properties. This means that when painting or staining it requires a thorough cleaning first. The timber is usually pressure treated so a decorative finish is often all that is needed. An oil can give the benefits of re-vitalising the wood while giving an attractive restored colour.
Preparation
Use a suitable decking cleaner (following the manufacturers instructions) to remove any surface contamination and allow the surface to fully dry.
Remove any denatured timber using a suitable wire brush.
Repair any defective areas to match the existing timber.
Topcoat
Apply an appropriate topcoat and allow to dry, followed by a 2nd coat to finish.
Apply two coats of Cuprinol Anti-Slip Decking Stain or Albany Original decking finish, following manufacturer instructions
