I have a 20x30 foot deck that has some 5/4 6" treated pine(I think it's pine) decking that is starting to cup and warp... I'm getting a few half inch gaps now between the boards...it's only been a few years.
I didn't put it down, and it looks like an amature job for sure.... they never even put any sealer on the wood! The only way I can think of to fix this is to pull all the boards off, run them through a $200 ryobi (home depot special) surface planer, then put them back. Would this be a good option, or am I going to have to scrap the whole deal and start over from the joists up?
I'm also planning on expanding this deck too, as the railing is kinda loose and falling off anyhow. Again, i did not put this together. I'm just trying to see if I can salvage the $1000 or so of wood.
