Hi,
I have a deck at the back and front that hasn't been reoiled in over 2 years. It is a bit grey in some areas and fine in other areas. It is grey/weathered mostly where water pools or is exposed to the elements (i.e. not shelter)
Is sanding required? Or can we do a good wash, then reoil the deck
Hi @echan28,
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is fantastic to have you with us.
As your deck has quite a lot of scratches and greyed, weathered areas, it would be worthwhile sanding it back before oiling.
Sanding will remove the top layer of timber and create a uniform surface, which will, in turn, make the application of oil look more uniform and much better.
I'd suggest having a look at How To Sand A Deck and How To Oil Your Deck for some guidance on the process.
If you have any specific questions about the process, please let me know so I can assist further.
