I found the Behr semi-transparent weather proofing wood stain & sealer at home depot. It says on the bottle it is 100% Acrylic, which is not stain but similar to latex paint if I am not wrong. I am wondering how the deck looks now although it is still less than their 6-year guarantee. I saw online people recommend to use oil-based stain for deck, which is much easier to restain. Is that the same case using Acrylic?

Stripping the deck

Just Moved into our home two weeks ago and previous owner painted my entire deck dark red! Ugh 😣 and of course it’s peeling! The railings still look fabulous, but the entire deck and stairs all need to be redone! so I figured I better start researching I’m glad I found your channel because now I know exactly what I need to do! Thank god it’s not too large so something me and my son can do ourselves 🎉 thank you!

Yeah, but what if the little red mechanism isn't working right? I've been messing for three days trying to get that thing to work right and I cannot get this on here because that band for whatever reason will not expand.

Do you need to use the Special stripper wash or mineral wash after using the stripper?

I’m so glad I came across this channel. Thank you . I will never paint my deck again . Every year I’m painting my deck never again, it always ends up peeling.

This machine is so terrible from being made out of 100% plastic play it breaks easily I've had three of them they're not even worth the thought to buy this piece of blank

Hello friend. I have been given the same chainsaw from my wife and I have found that the two bar nuts were excessively hot. I wondered if you have had the same problem ? Thanks in advance.

How many square ft did you get with one tub of the redy strip ? Green

Hey bro thank you exactly what i needed. Great video

What did you do to your railings? Keep them painted? I’m assuming they had paint on them. Our deck railings are chipping, thick white paint, really not sure what to do about it.

I moved back home. And Pops house has a BLUE painted deck. Now its half peeled. Almost 10 years after they moved in. Im probably going to start a corner.

I have to remove several layers of white paint from my redwood deck, so I appreciate this video. Hope I can do it my 70 year old self. P.S. love the way you and your son are with one another. If your kids like you, you are a good person.

You had me at the dad line. I want something for my kids like this. Lol on the bikes. I feel ya ( 3 kids here 🥳🤯)

Finally someone who don't take shortcuts,I'm in the middle of a similar project myself,great video!

I am doing this to my deck as well but I am going with composite boards and only restoring the structure and hand rails (I am also replacing the balusters with metal rods) There will be no horizontal surfaced of wood after I am done. Would you say that the prep is still as important on vertical/non-trafficked areas? I have been going back and forth with paint and stain and if I could simply go over the old stuff after cleaning....Thank you!

This is brutal to watch. I restore decks for a living. You did a great job, however some of the steps I cringed at. Eg-2 weeks using 80 grit paper on a palm sander. This could have been done with a polivac on 1000sqf in 45 mins

Could have turned your two month project into a 3 day project by renting a sandblaster, remove paint and sand all in one. Time is money.

That behr is GARBAGE!

Another video to demonstrate that I will hire the drum sander! It far exceeds the quality of every other stripping method, and the before/after pics here show that there is a difference in colour but no difference in the quality and apparent age of the surface and the defects are highlighted. The drum only removes a couple of mil of wood at most on a deck in this reasonably good condition and while I don't price my home reno time as highly as my work hourly rate, time is still money, and the $70 hire cost is a pittance.

My brother is stripping and painting his deck. I told him we can use stripper and he DOESNT WANT TO, for some reason he wants us to scrape it without using stripper first. WTF

What about the cracks between the boards? How do you get that 'paint' out of the cracks?

Your deck looks great! I used the same stain on our pergola five years ago. I had to go over it again this year because of some mildew I had to power wash off and sun fading but it was easy and looks great.

Very helpful! I moved into a house last October with a terrible painted deck and have been wondering what I could do with it. Now I know, your video helped a lot! Thank you!

Perfect video 💯

I'm starting the same project in 2 weeks. Glad I came across your video. Thank you.

Very helpful video Steve. Thank you. Question though. What, if anything, did you do to protect whatever is beneath your balcony/deck when you were using the paint stripper?

We just had a brand new deck built. I had them use the exact stain/sealer product you used from Behr. The wood is Redwood. I wanted to tone down the red in the wood so I used a stain with green in it. Now my deck is green. What advice do you have on removing or changing a stain color?

Thank you! We had a painter convince us painting was better than a certain stain we wanted to go with...and fast forward 2 years it looks horrible. I'm going to go for this come spring and stain it myself.

she really wants to be in movies lol

What is the part number or link to purchase it?

thank you for the idea

Great Video! Has anyone tinkered with it to increase timing between launches?

Great video

good job. Looking to build this and give it a try. thx

Lol. I tried a belt sander. That was pointless. My power washer with a flat but didn't do anything. The highest pressure but completely tore into my deck boards and damaged them. Thanks for making this video. I'm gonna try your suggestion. I'm running out of time before this Wisconsin winter hits and I'm starting to panic.

I'm planning on doing this same project next spring/summer with the deck on this home I bought a year ago. Thanks so much for the info, I now have a much better understanding of the process involved, and it is pretty much what my original plan was. Take the long road and enjoy the results for many years to come, that is how I have always approached projects like this. Fast and easy can give you great results, like paint, but usually end up being way more work in the end. Don't *EVER* paint your deck. Great advice.

Yes the best stripper. Too bad, not available in canada anymore

You are so right we painted ours and after spring thawing sections peeled off so bad maybe paint too think felt more like a plastic when dry

I'm facing the exact issue with a 3 yr old deck paint that is peeling. Great advice on scrapping and staining.

Great video great Dad I approve this message

Usually, five gallons is the same price as three cans…

Too late for me, Why I didn’t look at this video before I made the mistake, thinking about flipping boards over and staining the other side. Really the person who attended me at Benjamin told me painting was better. Crazy crazy now with my decision , thanks

Black, 43 year old stay at home wife and I do all the home work. Thank you for the honesty in how long it took and how much of the supplies you used. I was especially inspired to see your son power washing because I have a son that age - he can help! Thank you!

To all dads for all bicycles. I get street tires cut the sides sleeve a new inner tube gorilla tape the inside of the rim 3 year no flat guarantee

Can you put pickleballs in it?

Thanks! I bought a house with a 2nd story deck they painted with Cabot deck paint. It didn't last 5 months which I expected :/ now I have ONE question. My little dogs use the yard below the deck. How do I sand and remove material without poisoning my lower yard? Maybe I need to add a patio to the yard (it's just dirt and weeds under the deck) or attach a plastic sheets under my deck like an awning so whatever seeps through at least rolls off the sheets to the outer edge of my yard.. thoughts?
