And with how old your deck is, the um, reinforcing deck stiffeners.

As much as I abuse my deck I still renew it again every 2 years. Good as new

so do you use a fresh coat of stain to renew it or a good power washing and deck sealer?

a good power washing

Ouch! That must hurt.

nah. after a few washes my deck gets pretty well broken in from it.

Cluey's Deck = 6 inches off the ground (Maybe)

Ares' Deck = 6 feet 6 inches off the ground

Trump's Deck = 60 stories above the ground

For the record mine is about 8'6" off the ground.

But I'm not compensating or anything.

Now people can swing on my big deck two ways.

I just installed a hammock today to go with my swing bench :litesmile:

Decks all have different size wood.....4", 6", and even as big as 12".

Mad_Dach5und

Yeah, wood does come in different sizes, but the real tell of how sturdy a deck is depends on the size and depth of the deck screws.

I have a friend who seems to have a drainage problem with his deck.

Do you boys with big decks have trouble with getting proper drainage? :sheepish:
Sun, 04/01/2012 - 8:53 AM Permalink
ares

What kind I'd drainage problem? Is the liquid just pooling on top of the deck or at the end of it? Usually drainage problems are caused by barriers and can be remedied by poking a few holes in them.

Somebody must not have made the proper strokes when applying the protectant
Sun, 04/01/2012 - 4:12 PM Permalink
Grey Wolf

The big problem is that the protectant doesn't cover the entire deck. Or it gets worn with usage.

It wasn't for my pleasure but i once applied two coats. It protected well but it no longer had that real wood feel to it. :frown:

Funny. I like April fool's jokes. Played a few today including freaking my mom out saying j was Preggos. Whitney even went along with it. Way funny. My ma first said "that's terrible" and "as if you two don't have enough on your plate" then tried to back pedal when we said that we were hoping she would be happy for us. Watching her struggle then slowly rememvering the date was a joy to watch. :smile:

you, sir, are rotten. personally, i can't believe she'd tempt fate like that going along with it but hey. must have been fun anyway!

i've heard that using two coats doesn't offer as much protection though as a single coat.

Bwah! Double zing. If that was the case my ma would tend to think that I'm Preggos instead. I look like I'm ready to nurse. :frown:
