Q: What maintenance does a wood deck need?

• <div><p>A wood deck needs an annual cleaning, plus refinishing every two to three years, which involves <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-sand-deck.htm">sanding the deck</a> and applying stain or sealer. If you have a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-paint-deck.htm">painted deck</a>, you&rsquo;ll need to repaint it every 10 years. You should also fix and repair loose or broken deck boards, nails, and screws. Cleaning your deck regularly and applying sealant protects the wood from the elements, water damage, rot, mildew, and fading from the sun.</p></div>

Q: How do you maintain a wood deck railing?

• <div><p>Apply a wood stain or sealant to properly maintain a wood deck railing and keep it looking new. Sealants protect wood from moisture and weathering. Regularly inspect the railing for loose screws, damaged balusters, and other signs of wear to make timely repairs. Routinely clean the railing using mild soap, water, and a soft bristle brush. </p></div>

Q: Should exterior paint be acrylic or latex?

• <div><p>You can use latex or acrylic paint outdoors. Although acrylic paint tends to last longer outside, it also costs more, so if you&rsquo;re painting the outside of your house, for instance, latex paint is often a go-to option. However, acrylic will be your best choice if you want to spend some extra money for added durability. </p></div>

Q: Will a second coat of stain even out?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-stain-wood.htm">Adding a second coat of stain to wood</a> can even out the color to some extent, but it won't drastically alter the hue if the initial application is too light or too dark. It's more effective at enhancing the richness of the color rather than significantly changing it. Ensure the first coat is dry before applying the second.</p></div>

Q: How long should you wait to paint pressure-treated wood until it dries?

• <div><p>You should wait three to six months after you buy it to paint pressure-treated wood. It needs time to dry from the chemicals applied to it. The paint will not adhere to the treated wood as well if it&rsquo;s still wet from chemicals. To test the wooden boards, drip water onto them. If the wood absorbs the water, it&rsquo;s ready for painting. If the water beads up, it&rsquo;s not dry enough to paint yet. You can build your deck or fence while the treated wood is still wet, but you&rsquo;ll need to paint it later. </p></div>
