So, I am siding my house. BUT - that is only the siding. I am really restoring the exterior of my house.
Part of that means the decks. My first deck was built in 1989 out of pressure treated lumber. I never put anything on it. It has been maintenance free since I built it. Believe it or not, it is still sound and strong. BUT, the grand kids get splinters.
Soooo - I now want to fix that issue.
I am NOT going to replace the deck boards, that is NOT an option.
I don't want to sand it because that will remove the galvanizing from the nails, which are in great condition.
I am thinking of a thick coating. There are coatings out there to do what I want.
I DO get snow and ice. Decks get hot in the sun.
I have 4 decks
16x26 - oldest one 1989
10x12 - second oldest - 1993
8x12 - 1998
8x10 - 2006
My question is --
Does anyone have experience with this situation? Recommendations? Experiences?
