This was a fairly simple project. The customer wanted to have a solid stain on an older wood deck. We first washed the deck with a simple bleach and detergent solution and let the wood dry. We usually do this to kill algae and mold or mildew. Fungus grows on wood easily in moist or humid environments.

A day later, we returned and applied the Sherwin Williams' Super Deck product. The customer chose a solid stain with a light gray color. He wanted to do a more tedious procedure which may be a tiny bit hard to see in these pictures, but he wanted to have this deck to have a unique look. He decided to use white trimmings. 

We used an airless Paint-sprayer to apply a solid coat to all parts of the deck. We finished by trimming with the white handrails and the results were certainly worth the extra time!

If you are trying to make your wood deck stand out, think about interesting color combinations that you can use that might make your backyard a little bit more fun! You can always use different colors a few years from now and change it all again, that  is the fun part of using solid colors.  You can change the colors every year, or every few years. It is worth it to be able to enjoy your backyard and to have a place to relax and enjoy. It is your sanctuary!

Let your mind wander and imagine an early evening with a glass of chablis. Invite a few friends over for a cookout and let them celebrate the new you! You are now the Computer-worker or Number-cruncher who expresses himself/herself with their backyard Deck!

I have written about the water sealant product for wood decks and fences called Ready Seal for several years. It is just a wonderful water sealant that looks beautiful! I love the natural appearance. The product comes in lightly tinted shades, as you can see on the color wheel below. Another thing that I like is that the product contains Linseed Oil. Linseed oil is a well known wood conditioner, used for thousands of years by Mariners on their wood boats. This is a wonderful wood conditioner, because when the wood dries, it encourages the wood grains to pull back upon themselves and make the wood more water-proof.

 Southern Home Wood Deck and Fence started using the product on wood decks and fences several years ago, and the product was rebuffed by big box stores, and not because it was not a good product. Ready Seal was a smaller company compared to Olympic and Thompson's, and they could not compete on the same scale, and it became a product only sold to the professionals. I have seen it from time to time, but it is hard to find. But, if you like a natural finsih- look for it!

When you want your wood deck or wood fence to look its very best!

Cleaning and Sealing a Wood Deck or Trellis is a lot of work! www.Southernhomewooddeck.com has been in Richmond, Virginia since 1987. In those many years we have seen what type of water-sealants and wood stains work best and last longest. So many questions arise, "What is the best water sealant to use on my wood deck?" "Which water-sealant or stain will last the longest on Pressure-treated wood?"

"Which Water-Sealant is the Best- Behr, Sherwin Williams, Ready Seal, Olympic, Cabot, Thompson's, CWF?" 

There are a lot of important decisions to make when spending good money when making a decision on what to use for protecting your wood. You want to make a good decision and not waste money on something that does not work very well. 

"Should I use oil-based water sealant, or should I use Acrylic water-sealants?"

I want you to take a look at the transformation that we made take place at Southern Home when we laboriously refinished a deck that had not been loved for fifteen years. Boards had to be replaced, mold and mildew had to be removed, old finish had to be stripped and removed. Broken pickets beneath the hand-rails needed to be repaired. What a job!

I am going to start with what the deck ended up looking like. But, you need to go back and see the previous pics where I show how Southern Home Wood Decks in Richmond, VA refinished one of the ugliest decks we have ever refinished. It was a crew of three men, "T-Roy", "Calvin Sallie" and myself, Todd Sowell. 

Nobody, and I mean nobody, has talent like these guys, just look!

After the deck was cleaned and all of the rotten boards were replaced, Southern Home's crew stained the surface and rails to bring the customer the beautiful picture at the top of the page. We used a solid stain by Behr (available exclusively at Home Depot) and you can imagine how happy the customer was with these fantastic results!
