Thread: Need some ideas

Get porch or deck paint and mix in the play sand put on 2 coats.

they have a product out called deck restore its has a non-slip type texture when dries on the decking its almost like armor coating its anywhere from $24 to $30 a gallon you can get it at lowes or home depot it last forever!!!!!

Put a thick coat of oil based paint down and throw sand on it.

I would use the decking in 5 quarter. Sturdier and stonger. That being said, whatever I used I would do as they suggested and put a good exterior paint on it with some masons sand mixed in it. Now it is kinda pricey but rustoleum makes a product that I have used for this purpose, comes in a kit with the special roller and paint and grit that you pour into the paint. When it dries out it looks like a rough bed liner and is pretty durable also. I have used it on two decks and a patio here in town and the results are nice.

Sorry I was wrong it is not rustoleum but is Deck Restore as Strmwalker stated. Here is the link to their site, and he is correct.. I put it on a patio here about 4 yrs ago and was over there about a month ago doing some more work and it still looked good as new.Synta, Inc. » Deck Restore

I been real lazy on keeping my deck treated and have been on the fence about using the restore or replacing the deck boards. All of my frame is good

What kinda shape are your decking boards in Slimey???? I used this product that Stormwalker mentioned on a deck that looked pretty tough but no rotting and man when I finished it looked like a new deck. Used the Restore on the actual decking boards and got Lowes to mix me some good exterior oil based paint to match it and painted the rails with and it looked a new deck when I got finished with it.

They are still sound and not rotted, just weathered and some cracking
