Sanding Rough Edges

safe distance away from the deck I'm gonna say about three feet work your down yourself down towards the surface to about a foot and you'll start to get a feel for it where it's actually going to damage the surface versus just laying the surface so like I say just start far away and work yourself you know to the deck one thing you want to be aware of is while you're cleaning the deck and get all the leaves and debris out of the gaps you know in between the planks or the deck itself you know a lot of do-it-yourselfers will happy to see them this leaves and debris in between the gaps in style the new and you're staining it it's just not going to look professional with all those gaps and cracks and complete clean using the hall surface cleaner just keep that thing at a steady pace just move it along slow and steady and overlap about 50% if you don't have an all surface cleaner you can't afford to buy one you can get it from rental yards they're very inexpensive to grant for a day and it's something to take you you know or their powers to to do all your cleaning you can heat a driveway and you can do your walkways and you can do that gonna cover the hours and give that ring back when it's all said and done everything's all clean I would sit back
