I prefer to use a large brush or a mop. You want to get large amounts of Stain Solver liquid on the deck surface. Hand pump sprayers often apply too little solution to the surface. If you must use a sprayer, make sure the product has dissolved completely or you will clog the nozzle! Also, be sure you spray on lots of liquid.

Beside the components of the Invisagrip? Deck Fastening System you will need a hammer (for the first board) and electronic screwdriver with a number 2 bit or torque 25.

The V2A and V4A grips are made from stainless steel. V2A is a chrome-nickel composition and has the material number 1.4301 (AISI: 304), V4A material number 1.4435 (AISI: 316L) is based on a chrome-nickel-molybdenum composition. The V4A Grip is a special engineered fastener for pool areas. The steel contains an important coating giving the steel a better resistant against chlorine.

Our only clear finish is for interior use only. We would suggest the transparent wood finish designed for the type of wood you want to coat. (Examples: Cedar/Marine for cedar or teak; Transparent Redwood for redwood.) This indicates overapplication of the wood stain. In most cases, washing the surface with a solution of TSP (Tri-Sodium Phosphate) and water, (with some scrubbing) after seven days drying time, will correct the problem.

Treated wood guarantees a much longer life for the understructure of your deck. Since many of today’s composite decking products are guaranteed for 20 years or more, it is unwise to use untreated lumber for the deck structure. Even in dry climates, it is advisable to use treated joists, and many decking manufacturers require the use of treated lumber to maintain the warranty.

Not at all. When done professionally, a very small amount of dried-out dead fiber is removed when your deck is getting a face lift.

This mainly will depend on the weather. On average a Pressure Treated Pine deck can be sealed in approximately 45-60 days from installation. A Cedar or Redwood deck can be sealed within 21 days. If you have a fair amount of rain you will need extra time for drying the wood out. Essentially you are making sure you don't seal in any moisture as this will promote rotting from the inside out.

You should certainly protect your deck from unnecessary moisture intrusion and the harmful effects of the sun's ultra-violet rays. Use of a penetrating stain, containing water repellant ingredients in most cases will protect your deck best. The pigment in the stain will absorb the ultra-violet rays from the sun and protect the wood fibers from degradation. In most cases a stain will need maintenance every 2-4 years while clear sealers require maintenance every 1-2 years.

For treadmills manufactured after November 2002 use lubricant that is 100 percent silicon. It can be purchased from Horizon Fitness or from a sporting goods or other fitness retailer. Important: it must be 100 percent silicon and not have other ingredients mixed in. It comes in oil or spray, but oil usually lasts longer. Back to top

When we designed the On-Trux Roll-Off System, optimum flexibility, ease of use, and maximum vehicle utilization were paramount. All our decks are built on a common frame. So, whether you have one truck and 5 decks, or 3 trucks and 20 decks, all are fully interchangeable.

It is not recommended you place grills on wooden decks. If you do you must take measures to keep any burning ash or grease from falling onto the deck. The only people who can cook on their deck or patios are those living in single family houses or duplexes. Even then, it is a good idea to be sure the device is away from the house or overhanging structure. Keep children and pets away from the grill. Stay with the device while it is hot or a flame is present.

Hardwood decks such as Ipe, Mahogany, Brazilian Redwood, Massaranduba, Meranti, Pau Lupe, and Teak are extremely dense. This allows for less penetration of the stain resulting in more frequent applications. We do offer stains that are specifically formulated for these difficult to penetrate woods.

On a horizontal surface, Penofin may be expected to perform for an average of 9-18 months and 3-5 years on a vertical surface. The time will vary depending on the percentage of sunlight, weather, etc... Yes. All Penofin wood finish colors contain the same ingredients, just different amounts of colored pigments. However, you will not be able to make the surface lighter by applying a lighter shade. As always, you should test a small area before use.

No, "New Wood Defender" is recommended on pressure treated wood, as well as Cedar and Redwood during the first year of weathering. Wood Defender is a latex based product used to stabilize new exterior wood. This product is treated with fungicide to prevent the growth of mildew.
