Hi
I've got a reasonably new (3 years) deck at the bottom of the garden. I initially treated it with Cuprinol Decking Treatment, but it's proved absolute rubbish (has anyone else found this?). It's flaked off all over, and the result is a real mess with some bits completely back to bare wood and others (where there is shelter) still covered.
I want to now treat it with decking oil, but obviously would like to clear off the old stuff first. I've used a standard decking cleaner which has cleaned up all the muck, but I wondered about some kind of stripping solution to take off the old seal. I've used a pressure washer and t-racer which has cleaned it up, and there's no sign of any damage to the wood.
I've seen these sorts of things at 'decksupply.co.uk'
Do I need to do this? Or should I just try some similar colour decking oil on it as it stands and hope for the best?
I'd be grateful for any thoughts
James
