Had a Merbau deck put in at my place about 14 months ago. It cops a fair bit of weather, both rain and Sun.
Was planning to strip it back and reseal it over the Melbourne cup weekend. It rained non stop, so it’s now my Christmas project.
Not done a huge amount of research, so if anyone has any experience in this type of thing, please post a reply.
So I’m thinking Boxing Day, get the Guerney out and give it a pressure clean. Dry during the first session at the MCG. Then at the lunch break, apply the deck clean gear and scrub. Let that dry overnight. Following day apply first coat of stain in the morning and then a second coat in the arvo. Forecast is 35 that day over here, so perfect. Day 3 another coat in the morning, then maybe head into the test match…
It’s not a huge area, so I think 3 days is ample. Then let that 3rd coat dry for 3 or 4 days before putting the BBQ, the Hawks barrel and the table and chairs back in place.
