I am going to start powerwashing and staining decks in the spring and would like some hints on the best way of doing them.
I bought a Kartcher 2600psi 2.3gl, and I have seen most of you would use bigger but I am not going to be doing anything more than decks for now on top of my full time job.
If you are staining a new deck for the first time how many coats of stain would you use, and how many for a deck allready stained in the past.
I am considering doing most of my decks by hand (meaning brush) but am not sure if Iam crazy for thinking that way. If It is a little advice would be appreiciated, I don't have a ton of money for fancy equiptment.
I have done a lot of painting and have stained four large decks in the past two years,one new and three pretty neglected. I did use a very small powerwasher on those but no stripper, I didn't know to, I was doing them as a favour for my boss.
ANY HELP OR ADVICE WOULD BE APPREICIATED,THANKS.
