Deck staining/weatherproofing
I have a cedar deck that needs to be weatherproofed and stained. I plan on
washing it and then applying a good coat of stain to it. Is it common to stain/weatherproof the underside as well? Thanks. |

No, I think its overkill. I just pulled up some 20 year old boards on my deck and the underside looked brand new. |
