The Annual Twee -up
After a hard Canadian
winter, every deck can do
with a good wash, clean
and seal to keep it looking
its best. To ensure your
deck's longevity, clean
the deck with a heavy
duty deck cleaner. It
removes old waterproof
sealers and semi -trans-
parent stains that show
signs of winter damage,
restoring wood so it's
ready to be sealed or
stained.
Simple Repairs
To prevent wear and
tear on a natural wood
deck, tackle repairs as
soon as the damage is
done. If you're inspect-
ing your deck regu-
larly, these repairs can
be simple. Look for popped nails
and loose railings or boards and replace. If left too long, a
weak spot in the floor can lead to further and more costly
damage.

Update Time
Foran old deck or
one that hasn't been
maintained well, a
larger update might
be in order. Easy
signs include mois-
ture damage or rot in
deck framing. If this
kind of damage is
visible, the deck
needs replacement.
One deteriorating
joist or post usually
indicates more will
soon follow.
Start hem Scratch
Building a deck to
extend living space is a
great option and in
keeping with the
growing trend in out-
door living. Once you
determine your budget,
make an appointment
with an associate at The Home Depot to
discuss your deck plan and how you can get started. There's a
large selection of design options and materials to fit small,
medium and large budgets so get ready for summer!
