I’ve heard my deck lasts longer if it’s allowed to dry quicker after it gets wet, is this true?

Yes – a deck that dries after wetting will last longer than one that stays damp. Good maintenance practices for cedar decks include allowing proper water drainage; keeping the surface free of dirt, leaves, pine-needles and other debris; and moving planters, benches and other deck accessories from time to time to permit the deck beneath them to dry thoroughly. Please visit our deck material page for further information on the proper care and maintenance of all decking materials we install.
