How To Look After Your Timber Deck

Maintenance of your timber deck is simple really but it will take a bit of work. With extreme weather conditions in Melbourne, your new timber deck will take a beating and with the deck costing you a pretty penny, it gives extra incentive to keep it up to scratch.

Below are some helpful hints to keep your decking looking great for years to come.

1. After you have treated the decking wait at least two days before you expose it to heavy foot traffic and furniture. It needs time to adapt so be patient.

2. In saying this, consider using felt pads on the legs of all furniture to prevent scuffing and scraping the newly stained deck.

3. It is a good idea once a week to give your deck a sweep and occasional spray with the hose but you have to consider once a month getting down and dirty and scraping off any moss build up or plants growing on or through the decking.

4. As stated here I stain my deck every six months, only because I want it looking grouse all year round. You should stain yours at least every 12 months.

5. Most reputable timber stain products will do the job but do not use some nameless unknown brand. Stick with the leaders like Cabot’s, Wattyl etc. It will save a lot of grief down the track.

6. Do not use pressure washers to clean the deck. It could strip away the stain leaving raw timber exposed to the elements. A simple hose and a sweep with a medium broom will suffice.

How Often Should I Stain My Timber Deck

Here in the Frankston area your timber deck is going to have two common enemies. One will be the moisture or rain and the other, believe it or not, will be the salt air which goes hand in hand with living so close to the beach.

We know that salt air can bring on rust more quickly in metal products but it can also have a detrimental effect on your decking too by weathering the wood quicker than normally would. In saying this, it is advised for all Bayside residents of Melbourne to stain the deck, at the very least, once every 12 months, twice if you can manage it. I stain my deck every March and September.

Are All Timber Stains The Same?

No, they are not. There are primarily three types of timber deck stain. Clear, Tinted and Solid.

A clear sealer is the most popular because it does what it says. It seals but it also protects the timber against moisture. It also allows the natural wood grain and colour to penetrate leaving your deck looking fantastic.

A tinted stain goes one step further by not only providing waterproofing to the deck but it also prevents UV rays from penetrating the timber. Tinted stains come in many colours giving you plenty of options.

Solid stains are different. They do not penetrate the timber as such but simply provide a protective coating on top of the wood. A solid stain will hide the grain of the timber so if you want that earthy wood grain look to your deck it might not be the best option for you and your decking.

While they hold their colour for a longer period, they are prone to cracking, peeling etc if not looked after. This is where a twice yearly stain would be handy.

What Do I Use To Stain My Timber Deck?

When my deck was built I asked the deck builder which stain is best to treat it. I did not want a shop assistant telling me because he would have recommended the most expensive or the brand they need to move off the shop floor. I asked this timber deck builder for his selection. He recommended, and I have used, the Cabots brand and it has done the deed for 5 years now.
