Anybody refinish a deck recently? Just finished the 2nd coat of Behr DeckOver on a 20 by 25 foot deck. took 5 gallons, they recommended 7. deck over 15 years old, have been using cabot stain on it through the years. the deck over shows dirty footprints, they don't seem to wash off.
I was thinking of using Deckover, but I read the reviews and they all said it sucks, don't do it. So I went with the regular deck stain
Unfortunately, read the reviews after the first coat was on. Was planning on using the rustoleum (would have goon with Cabot again), but Home depot stopped carrying it, and the local paint store is now a "School of Rock". of course 2 days after the first coat, my 16 year old decides to repot plants on the deck. never a problem with the stain. but this is a textured surface treatment. Designed to get rid of splinters, but side effect of trapping dirt really well in the new surface.
