31​ ​Tips​ ​for​ ​Repairing,​ ​Updating​ ​and​ ​Maximizing​ ​Your​ ​Deck If​ ​you've​ ​had​ ​a​ ​deck​ ​for​ ​more​ ​than​ ​a​ ​couple​ ​years,​ ​chances​ ​are​ ​it'll​ ​need​ ​some​ ​work.​ ​After​ ​all,​ ​it spends​ ​365​ ​days​ ​a​ ​year​ ​exposed​ ​to​ ​the​ ​elements.​ ​Check​ ​out​ ​this​ ​collection​ ​of​ ​hints​ ​and​ ​tips​ ​for repairing​ ​and​ ​replacing​ ​deck​ ​parts,​ ​and​ ​adding​ ​some​ ​comfort,​ ​too. Check​ ​Your​ ​Deck Now​ ​that​ ​it's​ ​the​ ​perfect​ ​weather​ ​to​ ​spend​ ​free​ ​time​ ​entertaining​ ​outside​ ​on​ ​the​ ​deck,​ ​perform​ ​an annual​ ​inspection​ ​on​ ​the​ ​whole​ ​structure​ ​to​ ​ensure​ ​everything​ ​is​ ​safe​ ​and​ ​in​ ​top​ ​shape​ ​for​ ​your family​ ​and​ ​guests.​ ​While​ ​well-built​ ​decks​ ​will​ ​last​ ​for​ ​decades,​ ​some​ ​that​ ​are​ ​fifteen​ ​or​ ​more years​ ​old,​ ​when​ ​building​ ​codes​ ​were​ ​different,​ ​or​ ​possibly​ ​the​ ​work​ ​of​ ​a​ ​DIYer​ ​who​ ​owned​ ​the home​ ​before​ ​you​ ​warrants​ ​careful​ ​inspection​ ​for​ ​certain​ ​key​ ​things.​ ​Problems​ ​to​ ​look​ ​for​ ​are rotted​ ​or​ ​wobbly​ ​posts,​ ​weak​ ​post​ ​connections,​ ​properly-fastened​ ​ledger​ ​boards,​ ​and​ ​missing

flasher​ ​ledging.​ ​Most​ ​of​ ​the​ ​fixes​ ​are​ ​inexpensive​ ​and​ ​you​ ​should​ ​be​ ​able​ ​to​ ​complete​ ​them yourself. Install​ ​a​ ​Roof​ ​Under​ ​the​ ​Deck If​ ​you​ ​have​ ​untapped​ ​space​ ​under​ ​your​ ​deck,​ ​you​ ​may​ ​be​ ​able​ ​to​ ​convert​ ​it​ ​into​ ​a​ ​dry,​ ​spacious second​ ​outdoor​ ​living​ ​area.​ ​One​ ​of​ ​the​ ​major​ ​upgrades​ ​that​ ​would​ ​make​ ​this​ ​necessary​ ​is constructing​ ​a​ ​roof​ ​that​ ​catches​ ​water​ ​that​ ​drips​ ​through​ ​the​ ​deck​ ​boards​ ​and​ ​redirects​ ​it​ ​outside of​ ​the​ ​new​ ​patio​ ​area.​ ​Commercial​ ​systems​ ​are​ ​available​ ​to​ ​solve​ ​this​ ​problem,​ ​but​ ​one​ ​of​ ​our fearless​ ​readers​ ​came​ ​up​ ​with​ ​a​ ​low-cost​ ​DIY​ ​system​ ​using​ ​corrugated​ ​fiberglass​ ​panels. Adding​ ​gutters,​ ​though​ ​optional,​ ​prevents​ ​the​ ​draining​ ​water​ ​from​ ​splashing​ ​onto​ ​the​ ​patio. Build​ ​Your​ ​Dream​ ​Deck A​ ​deck​ ​doesn't​ ​need​ ​to​ ​be​ ​big​ ​in​ ​size​ ​to​ ​be​ ​big​ ​on​ ​features.​ ​We've​ ​got​ ​the​ ​plans​ ​for​ ​everything you've​ ​ever​ ​wanted​ ​in​ ​a​ ​deck:​ ​cantilevered​ ​seating​ ​nooks,​ ​a​ ​cedar​ ​pergola​ ​for​ ​shade,​ ​detailed horizontal​ ​railings​ ​and​ ​cascading​ ​stairs,​ ​to​ ​name​ ​a​ ​few.​ ​It's​ ​the​ ​perfect​ ​space​ ​to​ ​fire​ ​up​ ​the​ ​grill, read​ ​a​ ​book,​ ​enjoy​ ​breakfast​ ​or​ ​set​ ​up​ ​a​ ​hammock​ ​for​ ​afternoon​ ​open-air​ ​naps.​ ​It's​ ​a​ ​big​ ​project, but​ ​one​ ​that​ ​you​ ​could​ ​complete​ ​in​ ​about​ ​two​ ​weeks​ ​if​ ​you've​ ​got​ ​some​ ​carpentry​ ​skills​ ​and​ ​a buddy. Enhance​ ​Decks​ ​with​ ​Lighting Landscape​ ​lighting​ ​may​ ​seem​ ​like​ ​a​ ​complicated​ ​DIY​ ​project,​ ​but​ ​low-voltage​ ​lighting​ ​systems are​ ​actually​ ​a​ ​job​ ​any​ ​beginner​ ​can​ ​tackle.​ ​And​ ​if​ ​you​ ​make​ ​your​ ​deck​ ​the​ ​focus,​ ​the​ ​extra visibility​ ​will​ ​even​ ​add​ ​a​ ​certain​ ​level​ ​of​ ​safety.​ ​Low-voltage​ ​systems​ ​are​ ​much​ ​less​ ​dangerous that​ ​standard​ ​household​ ​wiring​ ​because​ ​the​ ​system​ ​relies​ ​on​ ​a​ ​transformer,​ ​which​ ​is​ ​plugged into​ ​a​ ​standard​ ​GFCI​ ​receptacle,​ ​to​ ​convert​ ​power​ ​from​ ​120​ ​volts​ ​down​ ​to​ ​12​ ​volts.​ ​The​ ​current travels​ ​through​ ​outdoor​ ​cables​ ​to​ ​supply​ ​power​ ​to​ ​the​ ​fixtures. Refinish​ ​the​ ​Deck There's​ ​no​ ​greater​ ​impact​ ​for​ ​your​ ​money​ ​than​ ​to​ ​refinish​ ​your​ ​deck.​ ​Decks​ ​take​ ​a​ ​huge​ ​beating by​ ​the​ ​elements,​ ​so​ ​maintaining​ ​them​ ​is​ ​essential​ ​to​ ​protect​ ​your​ ​biggest​ ​investment–your home.​ ​Prep​ ​is​ ​always​ ​the​ ​first​ ​step​ ​in​ ​any​ ​major​ ​makeover​ ​project,​ ​so​ ​make​ ​sure​ ​to​ ​give​ ​the surfaces​ ​a​ ​good​ ​pressure​ ​washing​ ​or​ ​cleaning​ ​and​ ​remove​ ​any​ ​flaking​ ​deck​ ​stain​ ​if necessary–we'll​ ​show​ ​you​ ​how​ ​here–and​ ​let​ ​it​ ​dry​ ​out​ ​thoroughly​ ​for​ ​several​ ​days.​ ​When​ ​your deck​ ​is​ ​ready​ ​for​ ​a​ ​new​ ​coat,​ ​select​ ​either​ ​a​ ​clear,​ ​solid​ ​or​ ​penetrating​ ​stain.​ ​Penetrating​ ​stains require​ ​more​ ​frequent​ ​coats​ ​in​ ​the​ ​future​ ​to​ ​stay​ ​looking​ ​new,​ ​but​ ​don't​ ​need​ ​to​ ​be​ ​stripped​ ​off again​ ​unlike​ ​solid​ ​stains.​ ​Just​ ​make​ ​sure​ ​to​ ​check​ ​the​ ​forecast​ ​and​ ​wait​ ​for​ ​a​ ​period​ ​of​ ​a​ ​few sunny​ ​days​ ​before​ ​you​ ​begin.
