Thoughts on Preasure washing a deck
Well everyone here is adding .02$ so now I will...
Will pressure washing repeatedly cause damage... Of course it will doing anything with regularity will cause some amount of damage. But done in moderation it really isn't a problem...
I have two decks which are approaching 20 years old. Both made with Preasure treated wood, and they have held up well over the years. In 20 years, they haven't been touched, and well finally last year I decided to do just that. I started with the small deck, and an electric power washer... it went all right but the electric power washer was very time consuming... About a year later no ill effects... This spring I did the larger deck this time with an gas powered 2500 psi unit, once again no issues. The deck is much cleaner and, and looks almost new... Now would I do this in the spring and fall every year...... No!!!!!!!!!! ..... but to get something cleaned up after years of neglect, YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.....
People run into problems pressure washing their decks because they do it two or three times a year.....
