Staining a Deck | What You Need To Know

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The actual sanding process is demonstrated. The user is actively sanding the deck boards and edges using both a small 3x4 sander for tight spots and a larger 5-inch sander for broader areas. 80-grit sandpaper is used. The goal is to scuff up the surface to maximize stain absorption without over-sanding. A foam abrasive (sanding sponge) is also shown for getting into rounded gaps.

Goal: Physically sand all deck surfaces, including corners and edges.

Tools and materials

  • 3x4 Sander Ekasand — Sanding smaller areas of the deck
  • 5-inch Sander Ekasand — Sanding larger areas of the deck
  • 80-grit sandpaper — Roughening the wood surface
