Q: How do I keep my cedar from graying?

• <div><p>If you don&rsquo;t treat a cedar fence, it will turn from reddish brown to gray over time. You can keep the cedar from graying and retain its attractive, deep red color by sealing your cedar fence with a stain that keeps the wood&rsquo;s oils in and serves as a barrier against the sun&rsquo;s UV rays.</p></div>

Q: How do you take care of painted decking?

• <div><p>Painted decks typically require a new coat about once every ten years. In between new coats, it's best to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/10-tips-keeping-your-wooden-deck-looking-new.htm">maintain your deck</a> by regularly removing debris, washing it down with non-abrasive cleaners, and staying ahead of structural issues, such as loose boards and rotting wood. In some cases, painting a small section of your deck affected by damage or the sun can lower your costs and workload.</p></div>

Q: Should you stain your deck or seal it for better protection?

• <div><p>Sealing a deck is better than staining in terms of protection. Stain on its own does nothing but change the color of wood, while sealing protects wood from moisture, insects, and UV damage. If you want to stain your wood, consider a stain-and-sealant-in-one to change your deck's appearance while protecting it from the elements. Reapply stain and sealant once every year or two.</p></div>

Q: How many coats of stain is too much?

• <div><p>Stain is meant to be absorbed by the porous wood, allowing some of the natural grain to show through. With that in mind, you don&rsquo;t want to add more stain than the wood can absorb, as you risk covering up its natural markings. Generally, two coats is the maximum you should do, although very dense hardwoods may only be able to take a single coat.</p></div>

Q: Should I paint my deck with a brush or a roller?

• <div><p>You can paint a deck with either a roller or a brush, but rollers are more common because they&rsquo;re faster. There are benefits to using a brush, though. Brushes offer more control than rollers, so it&rsquo;s a worthwhile route if you don&rsquo;t mind spending more time on the job. The fastest way to paint a deck is with a sprayer, but they&rsquo;re more expensive than rollers and brushes and more likely to result in an uneven coat.</p></div>
