How To Take Care of Your Wooden Deck

Cleaning your deck can be a tedious task if you don't know what you are doing. You want to make sure that you clean everything thoroughly, but not overdo it. If you do too much cleaning, you may damage the wood. This is especially true if you use harsh chemicals.







A wooden deck is made of many materials:


1. Wood

 The wood used in the decking was chosen due to its durability and ease of maintenance. The wood used is pressure treated and has been sealed to prevent rot. Pressure treating involves exposing the wood to high amounts of moisture and heat under pressure. This allows the chemicals to penetrate deep into the wood fibers and create a protective barrier that prevents decay. Sealing the wood ensures that it does not absorb any water from rain or humidity.


 2. Adhesives

 The adhesive used to attach the boards together is a two-part epoxy resin system. Epoxies are strong adhesives that have many uses and can be used to bond almost anything. They are usually applied in thin layers and then cured (or hardened) using heat. Curing time varies depending on the thickness of the material being bonded. In this case, we used a thicker layer for added strength and stability. Once the glue dries, it creates a solid bond between the pieces of wood.


 3. Screws

 Screws were used to fasten the deck boards together. These screws are designed to hold heavy loads and are made of metal. Metal screws rust over time if they are exposed to air and water. To avoid this problem, the screw heads were covered with wood plugs.



Tips to Maintain Your Wooden Deck



Wood decking can last for decades if properly maintained. However, regular maintenance is necessary to ensure that your wooden deck remains strong and durable. Here are some tips to help maintain your wooden deck.


1. Cleaning

 Cleaning your wood deck is easy and simple. Use a pressure washer to clean off any dirt or debris from the surface. You may want to use a power brush to remove loose material. If you have a lot of moss or algae, try using a solution of water and bleach. Make sure to rinse well after cleaning.


2. Stain Protection

 If you plan on staining your deck, make sure to apply stain protection first. This will prevent the stain from penetrating into the wood and causing damage. Apply stain protectors with a foam roller or paintbrush.


3. Waxing

 Waxing is a great way to protect your deck from water and dirt. However, waxing should only be done once a year. If you wax your deck too often, it will crack and peel off.


4. Staining

 Staining your deck is a great way to add color to your deck. There are many different types of stains out there, so choose wisely. Some stains are permanent while others are temporary.
