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. |
