Your deck is an important part of your home. It’s an extension of your living space, providing a place to entertain, relax and enjoy your outdoor space. But, just like all elements of your home, your deck is vulnerable to damage from the elements. Taking the time to properly care for your deck will help ensure that it remains beautiful, safe and structurally sound for many years to come.
Steps to Protect Your Deck From the Elements
- Clean your deck regularly to remove dirt, debris, and mold. Use a pressure washer to make the job easier.
- Reapply a sealant to your deck every two to three years to help protect it from the elements and to make it more resistant to water damage.
- Replace any broken or rotted boards on your deck as soon as possible to prevent further damage.
- Keep your deck clear of leaves, pine needles and other debris that can cause water damage.
- If you live in a snowy climate, consider investing in a snow removal tool to help keep your deck clear of snow and ice.
- Install a custom fence from Terra Decks to help provide extra protection from the elements.
