A deck is a wonderful way to enjoy the outdoors in the warmer weather. But, if your deck is not protected against extreme weather, it can deteriorate and become unsafe. Decks, fences and other wood products should be routinely weatherproofed and cleaned to maximize their useful life. Weather combined with the treatment chemicals used for today’s pressure treated lumber means that the modern deck must be properly constructed to maintain.
How do you know when your deck is in trouble?
- Warped boards
- Cracked or split boards
- Debris that is “clogging up” space between deck boards
- Look under the deck for corroded joist hangers and other connectors
- Soft wood
- Mold and mildew
