Hi, my decking is only about 3 to 4 years old and I jet washed and revarnished it last year but it looks even worse this year! I haven't got the energy to do it again (and properly) myself this year. Any ideas?

A lot of so called deck stains and varnishes are absolutely rubbish. They look good for about a month then either fade or peel off in lumps. I found Ronseal the worst and Sadolin the best. Sadolin is expensive but it looks good and lasts. garrence 03-06-2011, 19:48 varish forms a surface which will peel off, look a mess and be a pain to remedy. Try oil instead because that will soak into the wood without forming a surface. It will fade over time but won't leave you with a peeling mess. E.g. Liberon Decking Oil. Check out online comparisons of different oils because some are a lot better than others and the major names tend to get low scores. manofstrad 03-06-2011, 19:58 Hi, my decking is only about 3 to 4 years old and I jet washed and revarnished it last year but it looks even worse this year!

Not sure what it is called, I will ask him when I see him next.:) Closet Guy. 03-06-2011, 20:10 Hi, my decking is only about 3 to 4 years old and I jet washed and revarnished it last year but it looks even worse this year!
