How to improve the look of your deck with stain

Deck Revival:

Staining for Stunning Results (DIY or Pro Options!)

Does your deck look aged and worn? Staining your deck is a budget-friendly and impactful way to breathe new life into your outdoor space. Not only will a fresh coat of stain dramatically enhance your deck's appearance, but it also provides essential protection against the elements, extending its lifespan for years to come.

Are you considering tackling this project on your own? We've got you covered! Below, we'll provide a step-by-step guide to DIY deck staining. However, if you prefer a professional touch, I'm delighted to help! Contact me today for a free consultation.

My Contact Information

Preparation is key.

1. Clear the Deck:
2. Remove all furniture, grills, and plants to give yourself a clean work area.
3. Deck Inspection:
4. Look for any loose boards, splinters, or warping. Fix any issues before staining for a smooth finish.
5. Deep Cleaning:
6. Sweep away debris and thoroughly clean the deck with a wood cleaner. This removes dirt, mildew, and anything else that might prevent the stain from adhering properly.

Stain Selection and Application:

• Choosing Your Stain:

Head to your local hardware store and browse the selection of deck stains. Consider factors like wood type, desired colour (natural, semi-transparent, or solid), and durability.

• Test First:

Always test the stain on a small, inconspicuous area of the deck to ensure you like the colour and how it interacts with the wood.

• Stain Application:

Apply the stain in long, even strokes with a brush or roller designed for deck stain. Work in sections, following the grain of the wood. Keep a "wet edge" as you go to avoid lap marks.

• Reaching Every Nook:

Use a paintbrush to get into tight corners and railings.

• Should I apply one or two coats?

Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the number of coats recommended. Typically, one coat is sufficient, but some stains require two for optimal coverage.

• Let it dry.

Allow ample drying time between coats, as specified by the stain manufacturer.

Pro Tips for a Flawless Finish:

• Work in sections:

Don't try to tackle the entire deck at once. Stain in manageable sections to ensure even application and prevent the stain from drying prematurely.

• Favourable Weather:

Choose a day with mild temperatures and low humidity for staining. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can cause the stain to dry too quickly.

• Clean Up:

Clean your brushes and rollers promptly with paint thinner or a product recommended by the stain manufacturer.

• Seal the deal:

For extra protection and a longer-lasting finish, consider applying a deck sealer after the stain has completely cured.

What You Need to Know About Building a Step Planter to Hold Your Plants

June 24, 2024

In this article, I will show you how simple and enjoyable it is to make awesome-looking planters to display around your home, such as on your deck or in front of the house. When a plant is placed on a planter stand, water can flow from the plant being displayed. Adding protection to your plants, herbs, and vegetables will keep them from drowning in excess water. 

Let's get started with this DIY project. 

Step One:
How large you cut your piece for your project will depend on the size of your planter. Any size you need can be cut to suit your planter. Prior to making any mitre saw cuts, I like to paint or stain my wood.

Step Two:
The two front legs should be cut first, followed by the back legs, which should be longer than the front legs. The sizes of both legs will vary based on the size of the planters you wish to display. For instance, my back legs will be 16" or longer, depending on how you want them to look, if my front legs are 8".

These are the finished steps for your step planter

Step Three:
I'll attach the front and back legs with my brad nailer, making sure to leave cross cuts for the planter to rest on. I start with the front legs and work my way back. If you examine the images I've included, go over picture number two to see more specifics about the intended appearance.

This is the first step for your planter

Step four:
Attach your cross piece to the front legs by nailing it there with your brad nailer or by hand. Next, attach the piece that will support your planter to the back legs by doing the same. Examine image number four for further information and an idea of how it should initially appear.

As you can see, we are now going to connect the first step to the second step

Step five:
Here, you will cut a long piece from the front to the back in order to attach the front step to the back step. Cut two identically sized long pieces, being sure to make a 45-degree cut at each end for a refined appearance. Then, with 45-degree cuts at each end, you will cut two pieces to fit between the two long cuts.

You have attached the bottom step to the top step

Step Five:
To make your planter look amazing, repeat step five on the top planter. Cut two identical pieces for each side of the planter, making sure to cut each end at a 45-degree angle to ensure a proper fit.

Step six:
You have completed your project; now it is time to display your planters on the step planter you have just created. You can make it three steps by repeating each step for each planter. Hope you have enjoyed this tip on how to make a step planter.

This is the finished look

MaterialsI used:

1"x2"x8" spruce wood or any type of wood you like.
Brad Nailer
Hammer
Stain or paint
Mitre saw for nice clean cuts
Paint brush
