And then, how to maintain your deck
You should know that wooden decks require very little maintenance, as soon as you let them take their “driftwood” patina naturally. The wooden slats will quickly turn gray under the effect of the sun’s rays and bad weather, according to the purists, this is what gives a certain cachet to the deck, which is all the more beautiful.
However, to limit the superficial working of the wooden boards’ surface and prevent the phenomenon of micro-chipping as much as possible, some will recommend using a saturator for new wood from the first year.
To clean the wooden planks and prevent dirt deposits, all you need is a deck broom and clear water, or even saltwater ideally. This step is very simple and needs to be repeated a few times each year, just like cleaning a traditional deck. If stains are present, you can use mild soap but not aggressive products or high-pressure jets to avoid damaging the blades. To keep the original color, exotic wood slats, you can use a saturator once/year.
