Is it correct that if I use decking-cleaner decking-oil decking-cleaner decking-oil . . . ad infinitum, there won't come a time when the entire 120 square metres will need completely stripping back with a sander . . . as would be the case if I go into the world of, for example, breatheable "varnishes", like "Sikkens Cetol Marine"? I built my deck on 2000 and that's exactly what I've done. Its also the case with school hall floors coated with oleo resinous seal (which is also non film forming). May not need doing every year. Here's a pic of part of our decking. (You can see a portion of the steps, which are made of the same decking.) http://s246.photobucket.com/albums/g...teddecking.jpg All areas of our decking have a patch or two somewhere caused by less exposure to sunshine or by being hidden for a long time under planters & pots. Eddy. Nice. Blends well with the wall and the greenery. |
