Wooden Deck Maintenance-Paint or Stain

How often do you re-seal?

I have used waterseal products in the past. I was amazed how well they seal the first week after application and how a year later do next to nothing.

Usually a year +. I usually power wash the house after spring every year. Pollen is ridiculous here. When I do, I do the deck as well. Then get some water based Thompsons and seal it.

No brushes or rollers. Just rinse out the tank and run some water through the system.
