Hi All, 

Would love some suggestions on what we can do to update the current fence area and generally modernise the area?

Many thanks in advance.

Re: Pool reno

Hello @Firsttimerhelp5 

 

Thank you for sharing that extra picture of your deck. The standard For Hire: Orbital Floor Sander - 4hr will still work on this surface however, it will be necessary to take an extra step by using a detail sander. This will add an extra bit of effort to the sanding job, but if done properly will give your deck a superb finish. I propose doing this as a three-person job, one to use the orbital floor sander the other two to use detail sanders to do the grooves. 

 

There are other tools you can use from such as sanding disc pads, circular foam sanding pads and manually formed hand holds to sand in-between the grooves. The issue with the disc pads is that any mistake made in its application can damage the surface of the decking panel leaving large scars and uneven surfaces.

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

 

Eric
