Restore Your Deck | Make an old weathered deck look like new again

[@dawnayers5267]

Best deck refinishing video,lots of info ,great results 👍

[@emhok3035]

Nice job! Will need to do the same this Fall when it cools off here in Oklahoma. Will definitely try the Osmo products. Tip: I used to use a pressure washer on the (hardwood) deck, but after shoulder replacement and back surgery had to find something that wasn't so hard to start and use. I bought the bristle brush attachment for my EGO powerhead and was AMAZED at how well it cleaned the deck. Cleaned it thoroughly and uniformly (no pressure washer streaks). It was also MUCH easier and faster (took just as long to clear the deck first). Highly recommend for any deck owner. Enjoy your videos!

Looks like a great product Marie, thanks for sharing. Cheers

@DIYMontreal it turned out lovely. How often do you have to do it? I can't stand grey! Wish I saw this before I "refreshed" mine. Over time our deck (much older than yours) swelled/shrank, popped nails, twisted and split. You definitely couldn't walk without footwear. It took me days to pound nails back down, hand plane (I tortured my way through with a block plane fresh out of the package...I didn't know at the time there was a better way...sigh). After painstakingly sanding/planing every knot and bump out and crippling my stupid arthritis I finally was able to step back and admire my efforts. I stained with Thompson seal over fresh looking boards. I had to work under tarps in sections because it decided to rain day after day. The temperature was lowering quickly so I couldn't waste any more time. I was furious with the Thompson seal! I was ridiculously expensive, and only kept the grey away 3 months!! Oh and supposedly needs redone EVERY year...

Really great to see these Osmo deck products in action in a real life application!

[@cynthiaanderson4600]

this is an amazing video. I feel encouraged. I just bought an old log cabin with horrible decks. This looks AMAZING. You should get a commission on the products!

[@richardmckrell4899]

She is getting a commission, this is a sponsored advertisement video. Read the video text.

[@scottvercuski8993]

that turned out awesome !!! looks beautiful !

[@IEnjoyCreatingVideos]

Great job on the deck restoration Marie! Thanks for sharing the video with us!👍💖😎JP

[@SawdustmakerLori]

Wow.....what an amazing transformation. It turned out beautiful! Should it be reapplied annually? I bet you smile every time you see the deck now!

[@wf8933]

Great job, the deck is beautiful.

[@DIYMontreal]

Thanks! Great to have a new deck again!

[@archiem6323]

Hello🙋🏻‍♀️ again, just so you know I'm always watching 👀 your videos. All the best to you.🤗

[@DIYMontreal]

Thank you! Appreciate you always showing your support ☺️

[@davidbailey6350]

Nice job…..! Looks Fantastic.

[@DIYMontreal]

Thanks! Really happy with how it turned out

[@satwatchers]

So happy I came across your awesome video! Thank you! I wanted something better than retail box store products! Btw, how long did the product last and do need yearly touch ups? Thank you ahead of time.

[@thomasbrovarone7136]

Marie ... another timely video for one of my upcoming projects: refinishing my deck. A couple of questions / requests: What is the rough size of your deck and therefore how much product did you use? Why didn't you see the need to sand after cleaning? Question for Osmo ... would they recommend it on Kebony (European version of environmentally friendly pressure treated lumber). Thanks !

[@roberthahn8555]

I recommend contacting Osmo directly with your questions and deck dimensions. I found them extremely helpful and responded. They truly want your project to be a success!

[@DIYMontreal]

My deck with all the railings and stairs worked out to roughly 1000 sq ft. The deck itself being only about 320 of that. The coverage is roughly 250 sq ft per liter if I recall. It drinks a lot on the first coat but less on the second.

[@thomasbrovarone7136]

@@DIYMontreal Thank You Marie

[@idlersdream826]

Looks fantastic & impressed with the reviver 👍. How long does an application last?

[@Wordsnwood]

Looks great... any word from Osmo on how many years it should last here in Canada? Their webpage just says it is "easy to apply and renew".

[@moutrap]

Most oil products just fades away gradually over 1-4 yrs but you can decide when you want to reapply without having to sand it down

[@DIYMontreal]

I've been told 3-4 years of I recall correctly. Fingers crossed!

[@drophammer776]

Always plan to stain traffic areas every two years. Use an air compressor to blow out dirt, helicopter seeds from between floorboards

[@nincaru3807]

@@drophammer776 Excellent tip? I will do just that!

[@ironhorse_woodcraft]

Looks great, I wonder how well it would work on a pressure treated deck. I have one to do next year

[@nincaru3807]

Yes, I am also wondering if this could be used on pressure treated wood. Please respond!

[@TheHkluivert]

How often does it rain there? And a lot of rain as well… Your deck looks great now, got me inspired to do ours too

[@DIYMontreal]

Rained more than usual! Murphy's law I guess...

[@kskoba1]

How is it holding up after a year? Interested in how often the finish will need to be refreshed.

[@tonyeze7233]

Great!!!! When you missed it, did you put more oil than the actual decking paint to make it lighter? Just wondering because I want a lighter brown color on my 10 yrs old deck. Thanks

[@wolfman75]

WOW!!!! Amazing!!!!! That is Awesome Stuff!!!!!! Well done!!!! I actually need to do this myself!!!! Thank You!!!!! 😲🤔😁🌹💙👍😎🤩🤘

[@gpdoyon]

Looks good! How often will you need to reapply the stain/preserver?

[@DIYMontreal]

Every 3-4 years I believe... or hopefully longer!

[@raulsoto2088]

Muy lindo trabajo, como siempre me encantas, gracias por compartir tus proyectos,.. 😶Eres una mujer muy wapa, atractiva, un abrazo desde Chile 🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱

[@beardedelephant3023]

That came really good

[@1aliveandwell]

Have used a garden knife (good for narly Johnson grass) to slide between boards that collects lots. Oxalic acid thought is what naval jelly is made of (for rust removal), makes a large difference on appearance of the wood ! (maybe wear more protective things). We just brushed lots of dark bits off the cedar fence (wearing a mask), then tried to clean with vinegar, not much diff. Might try a borax solution after for reducing flamability and fungus and termites . How does your deck loock now after almost 2 yrs?

[@Bingoye]

Great video! Thank you! Our old deck has old paint. What should I do before using the gel? Thanks.

[@niconovac4]

Hi Marie, how does this stain/oil performs after the winter? Should we re-oil every year ? Have you considered Huile pour terrasses antidérapante - 430? In case it was too slippery after the initial application

[@MCsCreations]

Fantastic work, Marie! Nicely done! 😃 It ended up with a pretty similar look to Garapeira, a wood we use a lot here in Brazil... I wander if that's the reason for the stain's name! Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@DIYMontreal]

Interesting! Thanks and take care too!

[@jasbrar7301]

Great job, i am doing the same process on my deck

[@tt11qj]

How is the deck holding up? Im also in mtl and need to fix up ky deck, would you still recommend osmo products?

[@grahamulax]

omg this is EXACTLY what I need right now. Insane timing!!! Going to tell my dad about this because he would love this as well. MY GOD!! Had no idea that gel existed!

[@DIYMontreal]

Good to hear that. Enjoy! Hope your project is a success 👍

[@RaphaelBaron]

just had one installed! thanks for the well-timed video ! 😊

[@DIYMontreal]

You bet 👍

[@terristroh3965]

What a difference! Any problem about working with oxycylic acid?

[@bridgetbean79]

Would this work on a stained deck that has faded?

[@DLP70899]

Hello! Great video! I live in Montréal and am wondering how well the oiled deck has stood up so far with our weather? I also have an unfinished cedar deck and am thinking of doing the same treatment to mine. Thanks!

[@marcusfabiousmaximus3463]

Looks great, my cedar deck needs something that works this well. Where can I get it?

[@williamellis8993]

Looks super, Marie. My deck is pressure treated lumber and gets the pressure washer. Bill

[@DIYMontreal]

I'll admit It must be satisfying to use one...

[@WiseTreee]

Osmo has UV protection oil as well in clear and other tones. Would you recommend using it along with decking oil? I also prefer the natural or light color over deck. So can i mix grapa decking oil with clear UV protection oil ?

[@omarndhs]

Unexpected rain in Canada?

[@elhoward7440]

Yeah, my wife decided to "help" me by finishing pressure washing the deck while I was at work... and splintered the heck out of the wood. You have to be extremely careful using a pressures washer on a deck, use a wide nozzle pattern and hold it several inches away from the wood.

[@funstuffonthenet5573]

It's not necessary to pressure wash, she doesn't do it in this video. Just a hose and cleaning product

[@TheDentrassi]

My uninformed self has spent most of today doing this 😂

[@MurrayAtherton]

Where can you buy the product in Western Canada? Vancouver area.

[@kingpackagers8032]

Osmo sells it online. So does Ardec in Montreal.

[@ColinBrain]

2 years later, how's the deck doing?
