Hope this is in the right place. I have an old deck. Some boards are cracked, some have some splinters, but most are still in good shape. All have a failed stain. Pictures attached. My first question, does this look salvageable or do I need to pull it all up and recover? If salvageable:
1. Is there a wood filler I can use for the spots where the wood has splintered and come off? Will the wood filler take the stain and mostly match the wood?
2. If I remove the worst of the splinters, can I sand this deck down?
3. If sanding is likely to be successful- should I use one of the larger (12"x18") orbital sanders? What grit? How many hours of labor am I getting into for a 16'x22' deck?
