Winter in Tasmania can be harsh on outdoor timber structures. Between heavy rain and frost, your deck needs extra care to remain safe and beautiful.
Key Tips:
Keep it Clear: Regularly sweep away damp leaves to prevent mold growth and rot.
Check for Pooling: Ensure water isn’t sitting on the boards; if it is, your drainage or slope might need a professional adjustment.
Inspect the Seal: If water no longer beads on the surface, it’s time for a fresh coat of protective oil before the next frost.
Conclusion: A little maintenance now prevents expensive structural repairs later.
