Wash it once a year.
A pressure wash on a low setting removes the moss, mould and grime that strips the finish off timber decks.
Reseal or re-oil annually.
Most decking oils last about 12 months in Adelaide's sun. A fresh coat preserves the timber underneath and stops cracking.
Check fixings.
Loose nails and screws are easily replaced. Left, they pull boards apart and cause rot.
Look for soft spots.
Soft, spongy timber means rot or termite damage. Catch these early — replace single boards before they spread to joists.
Keep clearance underneath.
Decks need air circulation underneath to dry out. Don't let leaves or dirt build up in the cavity.
