I have been a slave to the decks in my life and this last deck which is BC cedar I stripped by way of power washing and sanding and then I have just used a sealant.

The deck looks great and I only need to lightly power wash it in the spring as we do have mild winters that promotes moss and mildew. I am leaving the deck this year as it looks great and will do it next year, which will be it’s 3rd year with only the original sealing. I would send a picture but my grandson has my camera!!
