I used the concentrated stuff from home depot. 30 outdoor cleaner. We use a back pack to spray it on. Works great on all exterior surfaces. You can see the mold dirt n grime just run off. Not dangerous to plants. It smells like bleach tho
Sadly it only lasted a few years. I suspect wood was too old to repaint and only course of action now is to put new boards on as they are about 22yrs old now
I will advise not to stain your deck with a solid colour. You will have to touch it up yearly. I would just let it be or use a clear stain. It will last longer and it is easier to maintain. Learn from my mistakes. 😢
We get a lot of hail in our neck of the woods. I've accepted the fact that I'm going to have to restain the flat parts once a year. Since the hail is going to wreck it no matter what I'm going to do minimum effort: pressure wash, that nasty acidic deck clean, rinse, and stain the next day. I'm using the same stain from the big box store each year.
It’s sucks air in through valve stem after the explosion making that sound. All fumes are expelled with explosion through the valve stems as the must be done with the valve stem screwed out to avoid tire damage
If it was on the tire long enough. Burns off instantly with explosion. No harm to tire at all. Been done for decades. Starter fluid is best as I mention but this works just fine in a pinch
No, this has been done for decades explosion burns everything off instantly. No harm to tire and this is done with tire valve screwed out so all fumes burn and escape through the valve stem.
just courous as to how to fastened the wood to the rear to install your wall? Didyou make a video of that. Love the idea of the tarp over it. I am planning on doing the same with mine. Thanks for the great idea.
Self tapping metal screw through wood and into metal tubes. Then I connected sheets in center of shed with 2 x 4s that fastened to a post driven in ground on inside of shed
Great fix to your shelter. Mine is less than a year old, but I intend to copy your idea. I’m also going to reinforce the “rafter” tubes by adding galvanized pipe leftover from chain link fence. This should make it stronger and hold the weight of snow until I can brush it off. Thanks for sharing your idea.
Yeah but replacement tarps for them here in Canada cost as much as entire new tent ! The $40 tarp once a year is much cheaper to prolong life. Once original tarp finally does then I get new tent or just cover with tin to make it permanent
Wish I had thought to do this before mine fell apart. I replaced the top with a new tarp but that didn’t work super well. I just ordered a new one. I think I’m gonna put corroborated metal on the old one
I wonder if it helps to use gorilla tape to reinforce the inside of the corners where the tubes wear out the tarp material? Seems like that would be a weak point
Yes I think it would help. The main trick I found is to not make the main cover really tight when assembled because when the hot sun hits it will tighten up a lot and potentially rip the friction points
I used the Canadian Tire paint... NEVER AGAIN! I did everything painstaking correct and it came off in a few years and now I have to start the process all over. It's worth spending the extra dollars on a better paint.
I agree, it didn’t last for me either. Painting wood is just generally a bad idea even if it is a paint /stain combo. Only use a stain such as Thompson’s water sealer, etc
The logics not there. $50 each year for tarps in 10 years is $500 bucks and the portable tent cost me $150 at harbor freight. This is a no brainer, buy a new one once this thing is bad. Ours is 3 years now and still look brand new. Wash them, don't let green shit sit on it year after year. This is how you take care of it and don't put anything up against the sides that can damage or rip the cover. Don't waste your $$$$😂
Ideally 24feet long to allow 2 feet at each end to tuck and the width should around 18ft -20 ft but can vary a little depending how low down the sides you want it
I've painted my deck a few times. Word of advice, don't skip out on primer. It adds an extra layer of protection to your wood and ensures good adhesion of the paint.
