Merbau Deck Maintenance

[Rolytav]

Hi, 

I usually oil my Merbau deck about every 18 months using the Cabot's aquadeck. Last time I did it,I noticed there was some decent wear in a few parts and just oiling over it didn't look that good.  What do i need to do to bring it back to a more universal finish all over? Is it a matter of restaining and then oiling over that? 

I've attached some pictures of wear..

Hi @Rolytav,

Thank you for your question.

Unfortunately, the only way to get a truly uniform finish when uneven wear has occurred is to sand back the deck and then recoat it.

You can use this Orbital Floor Sander, which is available to hire in many of our stores, alongside Belt, Orbital & Cordless Sanders to carry out the job.

Check out How To Sand A Deck for some guidance.

Once the deck has been sanded, you can oil your deck as normal. Check out How To Oil Your Deck for a comprehensive guide.

Let me know if you have any further questions.
