What happens here
Once the deck is clean, dry, and thoroughly sanded, it is ready for the new finish. The video shows the person applying a new deck stain or sealant using an airless paint sprayer equipped with a roller attachment. This method allows for efficient and uniform application, especially on large deck surfaces. Work in manageable sections, ensuring you maintain a 'wet edge' to avoid visible lap marks and achieve a smooth, consistent appearance. Apply the finish according to the manufacturer's instructions, paying attention to coverage rates and recommended number of coats.
Goal: Protect and enhance the appearance of the deck with a new finish.
