Summary: Having a backyard deck can make a big difference in the life of your home. Decks invite people outdoors and help provide a comfortable transition into a natural setting. They are ideal places to host a party, as they provide a level, man-made surface to walk on and to set up furniture, while keeping your shoes or bare feet from getting dirty. They are also convenient for sitting outside and enjoying an afternoon breeze, a glass of iced tea, and a good book.

In this free video series, learn how to clean and maintain your backyard deck. Our expert will give you tips on how to check for structural integrity, including finding and repairing loose beams, as well as cleaning techniques for removing dirt, grime, sap, and snow. Also included are some video clips on staining and power washing your deck. Use these tips and enjoy the great outdoors once again.
