Deck refinishing

[ak2000]

I had been neglecting the deck for more years than I care to admit so lots of rotten wood on it. This year I decided to do something about it. I had it power washed a couple of months ago for the first prep step. Went to Lowe's and purchased a a bunch of new cedar and Cabot Deck Correct stain. Replaced the worst of the wood and did some sanding and filling of the rest. Just put the second coat on today and I must say it looks pretty good. First time I've ever done anything like this. Here is a before and after.

Looks a lot better, Andy.
Now, celebrate with a smoke upon your labors.

Have you considered using Trex?
Not a cheap alternative by any means, but almost zero upkeep.

I really didn't want to do a complete overhaul. It's a pretty large deck, around 750sf.

I hear that.
25'x30' deck is a very good size. My fricken shop is smaller!
