Decks are constantly exposed to bad weather which, over time, can cause wear and tear. Damage can include rusted metal, rotten surfaces and joists, damaged railings, or worn waterproof seals. That means repairs and renovations are required every few years. Naturally, the best time of year for that is during the summer months.
If bad weather and the wear and tear of usage have turned the colour of your deck to a stained, ugly grey, perhaps it's time to think about changing its surface. You can use tiles, wood, or decorative concrete.
If your heart is set on natural wood, you should be aware that it will require repeated treatments in order to prevent premature wearing. It is also advisable to wait for the wood to dry completely - at least a year - before painting or staining it. Whichever type of decking you choose for your renovation project, don't forget to check the joists beforehand, as they may have been damaged by water.
