Many times, the condition of a deck reflects its overall surroundings \u2014 especially weather. If tall or deciduous trees surround a deck, it would be constantly damp and covered with fallen leaves and branches. A deck that is exposed to extreme heat will benefit from an acrylic stain mixed with iron oxide or semi-transparent or opaque pigment. The additives not only give the deck higher color retention but also protect the wood from becoming gray and having surface degradation.<\/p>\n
A deck that is constantly exposed to dampness and rain will grow mildew. It is in these cases that a water resistant stain greatly helps protect a deck. The preservatives in the deck stain help prevent fungus from growing as well as prevent decay or rot.If the deck is constantly snowed, avoid using a metal shovel for removing snow. The metal shovel can damage the wood and hasten its degradation.<\/p>\n
Additionally, you should keep in mind that it\u2019s not a good idea to coat your wood too soon after a rainfall.<\/p>\n
