FAQs About Decking

How To Clean Decking

Decking is reasonably easy to keep clean. You’ll need to use warm, soapy water and a soft-bristled brush. Using warm soapy water, scrub the deck using a brush, and hose off any by-products.

Be sure to keep your deck dry after cleaning it during the winter months, to prevent it from freezing and becoming a slip hazard.

How Many Decking Boards Do I Need?

The number of decking boards you’ll need will depend on if you are building a deck from scratch or replacing decking boards.

When building a new deck, calculate the total surface area of the deck and divide this by the surface area of the decking boards you plan to use.

If replacing old boards, remove a board and measure its dimensions in order to find an appropriate replacement. You can then calculate how many you’ll need to buy to replace the boards you want to replace.
