It's a beautiful cold but sunny day here in Northeast Ohio. As I sit here pecking on the keyboard I can't help but look out the window at my attached deck. It is currently calling me for some attention. It looks like it's time to pressure wash it, and add some wood sealant of sorts.
So my question is this, are all deck sealants created equal? Is price the only difference between the products themselves? Tell me your personal experiences on which is better if any as I only want to do this deed every couple of years if I can get away with it. I hate asking this info form the local supply houses as they will most always tell you the product that they handle is the best for most any given application. Can that always be true? /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif
I have a neighbor that swears by the use of Kerosene and oil mixed as a deck preservative. But that sounds like an accident looking for a place to happen if you ask me. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif
My deck is made from standard pressure treated lumber, is 790 square feet in size, and is currently about 4 years old.
