Rotten posts, missing palings, splintered deck boards – we fix them all!
Our outdoor timber structures take a battering be it from extreme weather events, age, or lack of maintenance. At some point there will be damage that needs attention. The Deck&FencePro team has the skills to revilatise your deck, fence, or other outdoor structure, so it lasts for years to come.
We are having to deal with more extreme weather events that can play havoc with our properties. Intense winds are often too strong for our traditional timber fences, resulting in damage that needs repair to keep our families and property safe.
Timber does not last forever and will eventually need to be replaced. You may have a deck with a surface that is splintered, rotten, spongy underfoot, or with protruding nails.
These are all dangers to your family and friends and require attention.
Perhaps you have a structure that was not constructed correctly. Often DIYers will have a go not fully researching how to go about it. This can lead to dangerous situations down the track.
Conditions apply.
Kwila is a tropical hardwood that thrives in humid climates, where the natural moisture helps prevent splintering. However, New Zealand’s harsh sun and dry conditions can cause it to dry out quickly and splinter over time.
To keep your kwila deck in top shape, we recommend:
If your kwila deck has already dried out and splintered, board replacement may be the only long-term fix. This is why many homeowners are opting for vitex, garapa or bamboo hardwoods, which are more resistant to New Zealand’s climate.
A wood stain generally requires a top-up coat every 12-18 months to replenish the nourishing oils and UV blockers. We can arrange an ongoing maintenance schedule with you following the restoration process that will include a light clean followed by a recoat of the wood stain.
In between scheduled maintenance, a mild detergent is all that is needed to remove any bird droppings or spills, and a spray with a moss and lichen inhibitor during winter can also help. It is important not to use harsh deck cleaning agents that may remove the oils contained in the stain. Painted surfaces generally last longer than stained ones but are more susceptible to abrasion.
Deck&FencePro provide a range of services to keep your outdoor timber structures looking great.
