Deck Defense: Protecting Your Outdoor Space
Your composite deck is a valuable investment, offering durability and beauty year-round. But winter weather can be tough on any outdoor surface. Proper maintenance and care are key to keeping your Envision Composite Decking in top shape through the cold months. Here’s how to protect your deck from winter wear, plus highlights of recent composite decking projects we’ve completed across Ohio.
Winter Maintenance Tips for Composite Decking
- Snow Removal
- Use a plastic shovel or a broom to gently remove snow. Avoid metal shovels, as they can scratch the surface.
- For ice, use a calcium chloride ice melt rather than salt, which can damage the deck’s finish.
- Cleaning Dirt and Debris
- Sweep away leaves and debris regularly to prevent staining or buildup.
- Wash the deck with a soft brush and mild soap to maintain its luster. In Hudson, OH, a deck we recently completed shines even after a simple wash thanks to Envision’s low-maintenance material.
- Inspect and Protect
- Check for loose boards or fasteners before winter hits. Tighten or replace as needed.
- Use deck furniture pads to protect the surface during winter storage.
- Prevent Water Pooling
- Ensure gutters and downspouts are clear to avoid water runoff pooling on the deck. In Bolivar, OH, we paired a stunning composite deck with a new drainage system for optimal protection.
