If you have an outdoor deck at your home, it’s important to keep it maintained, especially this time of year. The winters can be brutal and the spring and summers come with their own kind of inclement weather. Whether it’s a foot of snow or a bad thunderstorm, you need to know how to keep your deck protected. If your deck gets wet and develops moss or mold, it tends to rot much quicker.
You want to make it a point to restore the old wood so you don’t have to replace your entire deck. Staining and sealing your deck are crucial in Minnesota because of our climate extremes. This may be a yearly thing for you to do.
Replace old nails or screws that pop up if and when the deck shifts, because you’ll see that happen from time to time. Lastly, make sure any deck posts are properly maintained. If you’re having a party with a number of people on your deck, you don’t want anything bad to happen.
Now is the time to check your deck.
