Good job on a rough looking deck. When it gets to this point in deterioration, I would think that paint would have done a better job of covering the imperfections. The same process is involved, but the finished product would look newer.

I very much a simple, self explanatory video without all the extra whooplah! Thanks so much for sharing! ❤

GREAT idea with the jug! Looks nice! Thank you.

Looks like you used acrylic/water based stain in Redwood color…how’s it holding up after 3 years? Does the deck get a lot of afternoon sun? Thanks!

Well, it still does not look that great, I mean the woods still have rough grains and cracks showing. I wonder if you could fill the crack in the wood to make them surface smooth?

Thank you! Feeling much more confident about doing my own deck now :)

Would using a Exterior Primer help with filling gaps and adhesion before applying the final coat?

What are looking for when sanding? Just a rough feeling or smooth?

I wonder how it will look in 2-3 years? I read that I should have cleaned and "brightened" the wood for the stain to last; I did what you did and after 2-3 years it needed to be re-done totally.

I'm over here just wanting that song track. That is some good jazz

If you use a sprayer machine will be faster and nicer than roller the deck.

How many sanding pads did you go through and what grit(s)? I think that would kill my back

[ageegeorge]

No repairs of damaged buckling surface?

Good video, thank you. I need to do this with my deck which looks quite a bit like yours when you started working on it. However, the previous owners of my home covered the deck board with blue paint which is peeling off. I don't know if they stained it or weather-proofed it in anyway. Is it a mistake paint the wood after it is sanded and stained? Does that undermine or compromise the protection of the deck boards?

Some comments about why you chose the finish that you put on would be helpful.

[sukhpalsandhu]

Powerwash and seal once dry, you did a great quality job, nice

Plan to repaint since the previous owner use intdoor paint to paint deck. And after 2 seasons about 30% is peeling. Just wondering can I just use a regular sander(the square one) also what grit of sandpaper did u use?
