It’s important to regularly clean and refinish a wood deck to keep it looking good and prevent the wood from weathering or deteriorating over time. Here are some tips to get you started:

  2. Sand any splinters or rough spots and hammer in any nails that are protruding.
  3. Apply an exterior stain with a roller or sprayer. Back brush the wet stain so it penetrates deep into the wood.
