What A Deck!
Last weekend, my husband and I ventured into the backyard to do a little deck & patio cleanup. We have a very large deck attached to the back of our house (it was there when we moved in), but it is in serious need of a little TLC. The previous owners did not care for the deck as they should have and as a result, our deck now requires a large amount of attention and money.
For example, when we moved into the house, little piles of leaves had been allowed to accumulate in the corners of the deck and remain for months. Without proper drainage for water, ice and snow runoff, these little piles allowed build up and caused the wood underneath to begin to rot away. Unsightly, yes. Potentially unsafe, absolutely.
There are a few things that should be viewed as spring maintenance and done every year. These things will help keep a deck in good shape.
* Clean debris from deck boards and keep an eye out for loose nails/screws. If you find a popped nail, it's best to drive a new screw--Don't re-use the old hole.
* Dingy/Mildewy boards need to be cleaned. Head to the hardware store and pickup a commercial deck cleaner. You can apply with a sprayer, scrub with a long-handled brush (not the same brush you use to wash the car--I got an earful for that one, once), and then rinse with the hose. No need to use a pressure washer for a routine job like this.
* Once completely dried, you can slap on a coat of wood preserver/sealer. Just follow the directions on the can.
* Finally, make sure to examine all the deck's substructure--connectors, posts and metal parts. Be sure there are no signs of rust or failure and make sure the parts are free from cracks and rot.
