My mom’s deck is old but sturdy (she’s renting too)… but I’d like to refinish the deck in exchange for their rent remaining the same for two years….
Before I open my mouth… just how much work am I looking at and where can I rent equipment???…
This is what I found on the internet…. didn’t look impossible.
Refinish a deck:
1. Use a hammer to refasten protruding nails.
2. Trim raised edges with a sandpaper block, electric sander, or plane.
3. As needed, clean gray or dirty wood with a solution of 1 cup bleach in a gallon of water. Apply with a brush or broom.
4. Use a pressure washer to clean the deck, being careful not to damage the wood with excessive pressure.
5. Apply stain or wood preservative following the manufacturer’s instructions.
6. Apply wood sealer following manufacturer’s instructions.

Give Me The Steps Of CPR
I live in a 2 bedroom apartment, and I have two dogs, one is 7 months old, the other is 9 months. THe 7 month old puppy is chewing up my deck. I was leaving them in their crates during the day, to crate train them. But they are getting to big for their crates, and we have a huge deck, so I thought I could leave them out on the deck. We recently laid down low grade outdoor carpet, bc she was chewing up the wood on the deck, and we thought she wouldn’t be able to chew up the carpet, but I was wrong, after less than a few hours out their, she chewed a whole in the carpet. What can i do to stop them from chewing, bc I want to be able to leave them on the deck.

My husband and I just bought a house, and the previous owner had sealed the deck, but some of the stain spattered on the siding. Is there a way to remove it after it’s been dried on for a long period of time?
Kitchen Decor Themes
Im staining my deck and had to stop part of the way through, when I started the following day I forgot to shake up the can. Now I have part of my deck is one color and another is a little darker. Its not too bad but it is noticable. How can I blend the two colors together? Or even make the darker area alittle closer to the other colors?
Direct Vent Gas Fireplace
I want to build a deck with curved stairs leading from a upper deck to a lower deck. The deck itself will be about 16 feet wide and the I envision the center of the stairs being 2 or 3 feet further out than the ends of the stairs, giving a radius of roughly 8.5 feet to the circle inscribed by each tread.
Is it possible to bend the wood across its width? If so, how? Or do I need to simply lay the boards parallel to the deck and then trim the ends?

I want to put a deck in my back yard; however, there is a bulkhead needs to be hidden by the deck or incorporated into the deck. Does anyone have an idea or have done this before?
