I just purchased a home with a deck. The previous owner built a new screen room on top of the 20 year old deck without doing anything to renew the deck. I have tried pressure washing it but the boards are in poor shape. Turning or replacing the deck boards is not an option without dis-assembling the entire screen room. Can I purchase 5/4x6 PT boards and just install them on top of the old deck? If so, how long would I have to wait before I could stain them considering they are shaded by roof of the screen room?
