Maintaining Cedar Deck
I saw the other thread on pressure treated decks and wanted similar advice on my new cedar deck. It was put in last fall and I left it as is over the winter. Now that it's spring, can anyone give me advice on what I should do to protect and maintain it?
I'm planning on buying a high pressure washer, so I know giving it a good wash is a first step. What do I do next? Do I apply a sealant stain? Or one of these Cabot timber oil stains to give that nice wet look for the cedar? Do I apply both?? In what order do I apply these stains, etc. I want to maintain this deck properly to last many years!
Thanks in advance for any tips you might have!
