August is the ultimate time to give your outdoor wood the "splash test." 🪵💦
Go out to your deck today and pour a glass of water on the wood. Does it bead up right on the surface, or does it soak straight into the grain?
If it soaks right in, your wood is completely unprotected. With fall rains and winter frost just around the corner, unprotected wood will warp, rot, and crack. Following our seasonal maintenance checklist, August provides the ideal dry weather window to thoroughly power wash, stain, and seal your outdoor living spaces.
Let’s protect your backyard investment so it's ready for all your upcoming football watch parties and fall fires.
