How to Clean & Stain a Deck | Mitre 10 Easy As DIY 

Hey Luke, sounds like it may need to be completely re-done with new timber. What kind of wood is it? You may be able to get away with replacing just the softer bits. Best thing to do would be to take a bunch of photos and head into your local store and chat with the team about best options ^Charlie

@@mitre10nz Thanks for the advice Charlie, I'll take some deck pics and show them to the staff at my local Mitre 10 near Whakatane, hopefully they'll help me get my old deck back to its former glory

What a sort of MAN, that can speak this with absolutely serious face! Professional, and actor too.

Throw a nice stiff broom in the mix 0:58 hahaha

Six to12 hours is pretty adequate, but always check manufacturer's specifications as each are different. I rather water blast as I am not using chemicals and doing the job and drying times is quicker.

@@TheClaudos water blasting pushes water deep into the timber which can take over 3 weeks to completely dry out

What style of decks would you like to see? ^Cam

@@mitre10nz sorry, that was an attempt at a joke, because "deck" sounds a bit ambiguous with your accent :) the video is excellent, do not pay attention to me.

Thanks for watching! We recommend staining after a few months, or a few seasons to allow the wood to completely dry, which will allow for a much better finish and protection once stained. ^Cam

Hey Serena, there are advantages to both - we'd recommend having a chat to the team at your local store and they'll be able to talk you through what might be the best choice based on the environment/local conditions and what you're wanting for the finished look ^Matt

They were both oil base - which he choose. He mixed those two oil base tins together in case of a colour variation

your an ignorant idiot the ones he mixed together were both oil based -----comprehend

I love Mitre 10 .... Love these guys who do the videos to help out the people like me who don't have a clue and have to do these things on our own. Good on you Mitre 10

I have the same concern until I see a comment below yours: he actually mixed two oil based. thank! But it’s quite confusing in the video.

realy is that all you got out of ths

you can go against it once to get into those place going with the grain wont get into, but always go finish going with the grain.

Oh, please, don't, just great the way it is....it has taken the gloom and doom of oiling the deck.

Hi Daniel, it is New Zealand accent, not Aussie, we say deck.The presenter is great, hubby and i followed instruction and our deck looks great.

Don't tell us to change our accent. Maybe learn more about the accent and immerse yourself in it.
