We have a second story deck on a verandah that is partly exposed to weather and the other part is quite protected. So the timber decking is very patchy. Any ideas on how to restore the deck?
looks like it hasn't been properly maintained during it's lifetime and now needs to be stripped back and recoated...check with your local paint specialists to recommend a new coating to suit the specific conditions and get ready for some sanding but the mitred corner looks gorgeous and it will be worth all the effort should restore the deck to it's original glory but the other, more expensive, option would be to replace the timber with one of the composite boards that don't need the ongoing maintenance
You can buy products to wash your deck and reduce the greying. I would do that first then have another look at it. You may be able to recoat it or you may need to sand it first. A paint shop should be able to give some good advice.
We have sanded the deck back, but unfortunately we can’t use a stain as there is too much discolouration. Think we are going to paint it instead. Now to just chose a colour!!
We ended up painting the timer with Cabot’s Deck & Exterior Paint in Melbourne Grey colour. Think it. And up well and has given our boards a new lease on life!
