How To Oil A Wood Deck
Decking oil is used to protect the wood from weathering and UV exposure. Leaving a wooden deck untreated will result in cracking, fading, splintering, and weathering as it is exposed to the elements. Just like with other home improvement projects, regular maintenance is required to keep your deck looking fresh. We recommend a regular application of deck oil about once per year, no matter what method you choose.
