Stain Decking Boards and Structural Wood
At 8:21 in
Building a Hand Crafted 2 story deck #2 4K
What happens here
Before final installation, protect and enhance the natural beauty of the wood by applying a suitable stain or finish. Lay out the cedar decking boards on sawhorses or a clean, flat surface in a well-ventilated area. Use a paint roller and a paint tray to evenly apply the wood finish to all surfaces of the boards. Ensure thorough coverage to protect against moisture, UV damage, and wear. The video shows the application of a transparent satin finish, which highlights the wood's grain. The posts and other deck structural components also receive a coat of stain, using a roller and brush for hard-to-reach areas.
Goal: Apply protective stain to all decking boards and structural wood components.
