How to Treat Decking
I'm going to show you how to treat your
decking this quick and easy treatment we
give it the lift it needs to make it
look as good as new
and here's what you need to do the job
decking oil our decking stain roller and
extension handle stiff garden brush deck
cleaner decking timber should be free
from dust dirt mildew algae and other
contaminants remove debris and
accumulations using a stiff brush
decking cleaners are specially
formulated to clean and revive weathered
or tired timber decking they remove moss
mold and algae whilst also restoring it
back to its natural appearance pour the
decking cleaner directly onto your deck
scrub the surface immediately using a
stiff brush and then leave for 15 to 20
minutes
for best results wash off thoroughly
with a pressure washer work from one end
of the decking board to the other in a
continuous motion alternatively scrub
the surface using a stiff brush and then
holds down there's a lot the different
stains and oils you can use depending on
the finish of your decking in this case
I'm going to use a natural colored
decking oil to treat the area this one
actually comes with a handy applicator
pad stir the decking oil thoroughly
before application dip the pad evenly
and make sure that you don't overload us
so now we're ready to start treating the
deck I'm going to start in one of the
fire corners using long smooth strokes
and treating about three to four boards
at a time to avoid overlaps start in the
farthest corner push or pull the pad in
the direction of the wood grain the pad
will hold more product than a brush so
you'll be able to apply in long smooth
strokes the pad also allows you to work
away excess oils and redistribute it
evenly along the decking board avoiding
puddles in the grooves different decking
oil products come with pads and brushes
for applications but if you're working
over a large area
I find using a roller can get the job
done in half the time remember it's
advisable
to use either the pod or the roller for
an even finish most decks will require
at least two coats refer to the
manufacturer's instructions to find out
the required drying time between coats
so you've just seen err to treat your
deck a quick and easy way to give it a
new lease of life for more hints and
