HOW TO RESTORE YOUR GRAYING FENCE OR DECK If your fence or deck have been bare and unprotected for a number of years you may have noticed how much the weather can really affect these wood surfaces. Graying and discoloration can definitely be an unpleasant sight at your beautiful home. Bare wood will break down, lose color, or even rot if not treated properly. One of the best ways to prevent this is with a semi transparent or a solid Hide stain. This will not only protect the... wood but also make your deck or fence look even better for years to come! Is also much more cost efficient than replacing the fence or deck. Many home owners think this problem can be solved with a pressure washer. While yes this will clean the wood it is also often found that this makes the wood deteriorate even faster. Just pressure washing the wood leaves it more exposed than it was before. Therefore, it is essential to seal in the wood with a high quality stain after you have washed it and waited 48 hours for it to dry. This will make the wood last as long as possible. One way I deal with this problem in my business is to use a brightening and restoring solution. Not only will this improve stain penetration by opening the pores of the wood but it also helps prolong the life of your deck by removing anything that could further harm it such as mold, mildew, or algae. Then we proceed to wash off the remaining solution with a low pressure hose, let the deck dry, and then sand off any other imperfections. When the deck is completely dry then its ready to stain! This way the stain can fully soak into the wood. Apply your semi transparent or solid hide stain and enjoy your renewed fence or deck!
