Getting your deck ready for the summer can involve several steps to ensure that it’s clean, safe, and enjoyable for outdoor activities. Here are some steps you can follow:
Inspect the deck: Check for any signs of damage or wear, such as loose boards, nails, or screws. Replace any damaged or rotting boards and tighten any loose hardware.
Clean the deck: Sweep away any debris, dirt, or leaves from the deck surface, and then wash the deck with a mild detergent and water. You can also use a pressure washer if you have one, but be careful not to damage the wood.
Stain or seal the deck: Apply a fresh coat of stain or sealant to protect the wood from UV rays and water damage. This will also help to enhance the appearance of the deck.
Furnish the deck: Add comfortable outdoor furniture, such as chairs, tables, and lounges, to make the deck a more inviting space for relaxing and entertaining.
Add lighting: Install outdoor lighting to make the deck usable even after the sun sets. You can use string lights, lanterns, or other types of lighting to create a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Decorate the deck: Add some plants, flowers, or other decorative elements to the deck to add color and character to the space.
By following these steps, you can ensure that your deck is ready for summer and provides a comfortable and enjoyable space for outdoor activities. Contact us at Fence-N-Deck Doctors for any needs with getting you deck or fence ready for Spring/Summer.
