Bill, I suggest that before you use a power washer on a wooden deck that you
check it out on an inconspicuous place. A high pressure water jet can do bad
things to wood.
Just don't get too close. I did my old cedar deck numerour times -
as well as the PT SYP. It DOES accentuate the grain, particularly when
used after soaking it with bleach.
