Summer in Canada means long, warm evenings and often eating freshly cooked burgers al fresco with friends and family. But if you're reluctant to party on the patio because your deck is looking weak due to snow and heavy spring rains, you should redo it. Here are some great items you can use to redo your deck quickly and easily – it's totally doable in a weekend if your deck is of average size.
Basic cleaning of your deck is as easy as grabbing a garden hose and this sturdy scrub brush and putting in a little effort! Yes, you'll have to put in a little effort, but the results will be spectacular! Synthetic, heavy-duty bristles and curved head allow for different angles of attack. Fits any standard threaded handle or Unger HydroPower Pole (sold separately).
If you decide that water and a scrub brush aren't enough, or there are a lot of heavy stains on your deck, using oxygenated bleach may be a good option for you. It's an effective way to remove dirt, grime, and weather-caused grayness, and reviewers say the container is more than enough to clean the entire deck. If you're concerned about kids and pets, this powder won't harm wood fibers, grass, or most plants.
Take care of those trouble spots or clean the whole tool once again with this compact palm sander. We found it to be very easy to use, and it's also very lightweight, so it's not tiring. It features quick-change sanding paper (via a hook and loop attachment system) and high-performance dust collection to keep things smooth and clean. Note: We recommend that you don't wash the deck again after sanding, so as not to raise the wood grain.
For larger jobs, save time and back strain with this large, durable brush guided by any standard threaded pole. Its wide body makes coverage easy, while its soft bristles deliver your chosen product to every nook and corner of exposed wood.
For all the odd jobs and detailed work needed to finish your project. A mix of angled and flat brushes, this set of five is for you, especially if you're big on getting to every last inch of your deck. Get your shine on!
This stuff is a fan favorite for a reason. The water-resistant, stainable wood filler makes any unsightly marks, pits and deep scratches vanish with ease. Fill the damaged area, let dry and lightly sand and the surface is ready for your chosen stain.
