As the chill of winter gives way to the warmth of spring, it’s the perfect time to prepare your home for the upcoming footy finals and all the outdoor gatherings that come with it. One essential part of this preparation is ensuring your deck is in top shape. At DeckSeal, we understand the importance of a well-maintained deck for hosting those unforgettable barbecues and celebrations. Here’s how you can get your deck ready for spring and footy finals season.

Spring Cleaning Your Deck

Winter can be harsh on decks, leaving them covered in dirt, debris, and even mould. The first step in preparing your deck for spring is a thorough cleaning. Here’s a simple process you can follow:

  1. Clear the Deck: Remove all furniture, plants, and any other items from your deck. This will give you a clear space to work on and ensure you can clean every corner.
  2. Sweep and Rinse: Sweep away leaves, dirt, and other debris. Use a garden hose to rinse off any remaining dirt.
  3. Deep Clean: Use a deck cleaner to scrub away stains and mould (check our Blog on how to remove mould).
  4. Rinse Thoroughly: After scrubbing, rinse your deck thoroughly with water to remove all cleaning agents.

Inspect and Repair

After cleaning, inspect your deck for any signs of damage. Look for loose boards, nails that have popped out, or any areas of rot. Now is the perfect time to make these repairs before the heavy foot traffic of those BBQs and  footy final parties.

– Tighten and Replace: Secure any loose boards and replace damaged ones. Hammer in any nails that have popped up or replace them with deck screws for a more secure hold.

– Check for Rot: Use a screwdriver to probe for soft spots that indicate rot. If you find any, replace the affected boards immediately.

Book Early for Deck Restoration

To ensure your deck is ready for spring and summer, it’s essential to book professional services for deck restoration, oiling, or maintenance, including pressure washing. At DeckSeal, we recommend booking early to avoid the rush and ensure your deck is in pristine condition for all your spring and footy final gatherings.
