Decking care and maintenance

By Simon Elms 9 January 07

  • Furniture should be placed on rubber feet or mats to minimise damage to the decking.
  • Put pots on bricks to allow the air to circulate and to prevent a build up of mould.
  • Check bolts and screws regularly and tighten if necessary.
  • Regularly clean the decking with a brush to remove dirt. A stiff brush should also remove mildew and algae.
  • Occasionally remove mildew, algae and dirt with a pressure hose or deck-cleaning liquid.
  • Once a year, add a clear water repellent.
  • Check for damaged decking boards and replace as necessary.
