Decks - need cleaning
and other maintenance at least once a year. Spring is
the logical time for that. It is before the winter damage
can worsen and before out door entertaining begins.
You, your family, and your friends relax, play and party
on it. Your deck is a special place and it needs regular
maintenance. your exterior wood needs protection from
hostile elements such as weather changing from one extreme
to the other. Driving rain penetrates into wood surfaces
causing it to swell and warp. Freezing temperatures
followed by blistering heat, bakes wood dry and leaves
it brittle causing cracking and splintering even on
the toughest pressure treated wood. Cedar houses also
need maintenance and protection from the elements. With
a little care your deck can provide years of enjoyment,
but there are enemies out there that want to spoil the
fun. WATER - enemy number one, can cause warping, splitting
& cracking. SUN- accelerates fading of wood's color
and promotes drying. FUNGI- Face it, mold, mildew and
algae are unsightly.
