Protect your deck now and enjoy it later
Clean It Up
First, you should give your deck a good wash. There are a number of substances that can get on your deck during the summer that could cause problems during the winter. For example, mold and mildew can cause erosion on various types of wood. Cleaning the deck can also prevent dry rot, which is wood decay caused by fungi.
Start by removing furniture and planters for storage. Moisture caught between the deck and planters or furniture can seep into the wood during the winter and stain the surface.
Sweep off dirt and debris, while making sure to clear the space between the planks for ventilation. A leaf blower can help you clear the surface quickly. Then wash your deck with deck soap - you can find specific formulas for each type of wood. After washing, give it a good rinse with the hose.
Strip and Seal
The next thing you want to do is restore the deck by stripping and refinishing the wood. It is important to do this before staining to ensure that sealants adhere to the wood and cover evenly.
