| Notes on Decks • Walking traffic, direct sun, and standing water make decks higher maintenance than log walls. • Most log home stains and finishes are too soft for decks. • Clear finishes have a shorter life than pigmented finishes on decks as well as on log walls. • If matching the house to the deck is an issue, consider LifeTime, Sansin DEC, Sikkens DEK Finish or SRD, WeatherSeal, WR-5, or X-100 Natural Seal. • Inspect the areas where the deck meets the log walls. This area can be a problem area for wood rot. Water runs down the deck to the log wall. Flashing will solve this problem where the deck meets the wall. • Contrasting colors of deck to the house can be attractive as well as trying to match colors - e.g. light honey colored house, dark honey colored deck. • Pressure treated or green treated decks can be stained, but wait 3 months to 1 year. This allows the wood to dry and also allows the green color to fade. This will give a more true color to the stain that you purchased. Sansin PTL however, is designed specifically for pressure treated lumber and can be applied immediately. • Cedar decks stand up better to the weather but they still need a water repellent, pigmented finish. All wood rots when conditions are right. • Railings are high maintenance; watch the tops of log railings for sunburned and water catching depressions. • Be careful of cedar railings that were strip peeled. Strip peeling (removing the bark without using a drawknife) can leave a thin layer of cambium that will peel off prematurely, making it appear that the stain is peeling. Also, the closed pores can repel the stain’s ability to adhere. |
