Is Deck Maintenance Necessary?

Most decks are made of pressure-treated pine. Good quality-treated pine will last forty years or so before there is any substantial decay. However, discoloration and splintering can begin after only a few months. For this reason, most people take on a regular cycle of maintenance. Failure to do so won’t cause your deck to rot, but your deck will most certainly become discolored, and the surface will become rough and prone to splinters.
