A well-maintained wooden deck can completely transform your outdoor space, making it a perfect spot to relax and entertain. Recently, we completed a deck refreshing project, and the results were stunning! Here’s how we did it:
Step 1: Deck Scrubbing
First, we thoroughly cleaned the deck to remove dirt, grime, and any moss buildup. Using stiff brushes, we ensured every centimetre of the surface was spotless.
Step 2: Checking for Damage
Once the deck was clean, we inspected the wooden boards for any signs of damage or rot. It’s essential to catch these issues early to prevent further deterioration.
Step 3: Washing and Drying
Next, we washed the entire deck with a specialised cleaning solution, designed to lift stubborn stains and restore the wood’s natural colour. We then allowed the surface to dry completely before moving on to the next step.
Step 4: Applying Deck Oil
To protect the wood and enhance its appearance, we applied two coats of high-quality deck oil, allowing sufficient drying time between each layer. This not only nourishes the timber but also provides long-lasting protection against rain, sun, wind, and frost, preventing rot and stopping plants, moss, or lichen from growing.
The Final Result
The transformation was incredible! The deck looked as good as new, with a rich, refreshed finish that will last for years to come.
