repainting a wood deck

[dance4nuggets]

Looking for some tips from the pros here. I am repainting a old wood deck at my mother's rest house and what would be the best way to prep this, like what tools are you using for this and what paint should I use, maybe something that will make repaintings easier?

Thanks a lot! I don't want to mess this up!

What a cool project and sweet, too! Just ensure that you scrape off any loose paint with a paint scraper then use a good quality acrylic exterior paint for its durability against any weather.

for easier repaints, stick with a high quality paint to help it last longer. Best of luck!

The best painting for a wooden deck is a high-quality exterior acrylic latex paint designed for heavy foot traffic. you might want to find paints with labels "deck and porch'' or ``floor enamel'

Sounds about right! try deck resurfacers fill cracks if your deck is rough and elastomeric coatings are flexible and good for small cracks.

First things first, pressure wash! After that you can sand it smooth like what they're saying right here. For paint, choose quality deck stain or paint made for outdoor wood specifically so you're gonna need something durable and easy to recoat later. You got this. Good luck!
