Preventative Maintenance Plan
1. Depending on the location of your outdoor project with regard to direct sun exposure, foliage coverage, etc., it may be sufficient to clean/brighten and recoat every two years. 2. If you decide to wait two or more years to perform your next cleaning/brightening, you may want to use a power washer. Be sure that the cleaner/brightener you use contains a mildewcide.
Choosing The Right Stain Or Paint
When determining the right stain and paint for your deck, consider what color will best enhance the wood's finish.
Paint or Stain Tips
If you desire to paint or stain the treated wood project, it is important that the wood be dry enough to accept a coating. The best way to determine if the wood is sufficiently dry to paint or stain is to sprinkle droplets of water onto the wood. If the water droplets are absorbed, the wood is ready to be painted or stained. If the water droplets bead on the surface of the wood, it is too wet. You should wait a few days before attempting to paint and stain the wood.

Questions & Answers

Asked by Wayne May 6, 2018Here's my input. I have an above ground pool and even with wood protection applied the area that gets the most water from the pool, the entrance where the ladder is, doesn't last more than 6 years or so. I read that it is due to the chlorine. Salt water may be different result. The boards under the decking is fine. I am in the process of replacing the wood now in that area.

Asked by Neal December 2, 2018For a tighter more professional look I butt them end to end as tight as I can because they only get smaller as they dry. Depending on your final application and desired look though spacing them slightly could give you that older flooring look. I only use stainless screws but have had really good results with the coated galvanized ones as well.

What’s the difference between premium and regular boards
Asked by Joe March 20, 2019Premium boards are more expensive because they have fewer flaws - such as knots. They just look nicer overall and should last longer than regular boards.

how much does it weight?
Asked by carlos August 26, 201910-20 lbs. no one has ever asked that but good question
how many boards for 24x24 deck
Asked by dp August 24, 2017the deck boards are 5.5 ". So if you use 12' boards and meet them with a transition in the middle, you will need 105 boards. But you should always get 10-15% extra to cull bad boards.
