Decking (the wooden kind, not lamping someone over the head)
 

I have a considerable size deck in my garden which is looking a bit sad! It's the grooved kind.

So have sanded the top layer as it was all splintery and chipped.

Next is to clean the grooves and give it a nice ceded red colour.

Anyone had experience doing this?

Would like some tips how to get a good finish.

Not putting that crap ronseal or cupronol stuff down, theirs is a stain (aka paint) which peals and flakes off.

Gonna use Owatrol Textrol

Get yourself a good branded decking cleaner and a jet wash, apply decking cleaner with a stiff brush, follow instructions then jet wash it off, allow to fully dry before applying any stain/ finish.

Think my one I used on my decking was from tool station, might have been cuprinol brand.

going to get some textrol which is an oil based colourant rather than a paint...

Gemma. That aint a deck. That's the patio you buried him under.

FFS just hope he rots quicker than a bit of tanalized. But he has 30 years of embalming fluid force fed into his system.
