I was told my deck flooring needed to be replaced 17 years ago. Kept it up with a wood stain and replaced a few weak spots. Four years ago I researched and went with Deck Correct on only the floor planks. I did the prep and used a brush on the first coat to get in between the planks as recommended. It looked great after the second coat and saved me thousands of dollars over installing new deck planks. It still looks great and is very functional. No water has gotten under it. It is great for traction and has not peeled, lifted, or worn anywhere. There is no wood grain and I get teased that it looks like Treks (Plastic). I kept the wood railings with a stain which offsets the plastic look of the flooring, but at the very top of the railing I used the Deck Corrcct which saved that part of the railing. It also keeps beverages from slipping off the top and prevents water stains. I think Deck Correct is a great product.

did you sand your deck first?

[@Hurry_Revive_Me]

Damn, that looks awesome.

Great video, thanks. We have a 30 year old deck also and tried to paint the railings and stain the floor as we were instructed to do by local paint store. The floor pealed and molded and looks horrible after one year and the paint is coming off the railings. Maybe we used the wrong materials and did not prepare it right - We did light sanding and cleaning but did not use a deck cleaner….Anyway we would be attempting this again and following your suggestions. BTW - where did u get the hose attachment to do the power washing? Thanks Much

I will be starting my project in the morning. The deck has been prepped and all I have to do is get motivated and do it.

It will be worth it! Stay hydrated!

[@yellowmetaldriver1460]

what is the square footage you did and how many gallons were used for the 2 coat total?

[@garrettscott9427]

The deck is roughly 17ft x 12 ft. I used less than the 5 gallon bucket, but that is because I still have the other deck to do. The material calculator on their website was very helpful for understanding how much to purchase. Thanks for watching!

The stain that's already on the deck was it latex or an oil based stain?

[@garrettscott9427]

Unfortunately I do not know. It was already on the deck when we bought the house.

Do you remember the color?

[@Falconplayer71]

What color was this?

[@garrettscott9427]

Victory Gray

How did it hold up?

[@garrettscott9427]

Amazing. Zero issues. Very durable.

I helped a friend coat his worn 30-year-old deck in DeckCorrect two years ago. So far it's held up beautifully, even though we only put on 1 coat. We're going to give it a gentle cleaning and 2nd coat this summer to prolong the life. We were both pleasantly surprised with how well DC has performed. Prep work makes a HUGE difference. When applying, rolling is faster but brushing really fills in the cracks.

Ty... I've been prepping the deck for a week and it has been dryer in a bone here in Michigan for a month. I'm super excited to start the job and hopefully finish tomorrow:)
