Step 1: Watch an Overview Video
Step 2: Refinish Every Year or Two
Refinishing your deck every year or two reduces cracks and splinters, which keeps the wood attractive and friendly to tender feet.
Step 3: Wear Safety Goggles and a Dust Mask
Refinishing a 10- x10-foot deck should take about 4 hours.
Always wear safety goggles and a dust mask when sanding pressure-treated wood.
