Installed in July/
Issue: Deck checking, prep.
It has been nearly 3 months since my new deck was installed. I have been waiting before applying Restore-A-Deck stain. Most of the boards have checked from drying. Some have even cracked through the board. Is this normal? Is any special prep needed to correct?
Cracking in deck boards is normal. No way to stop or prevent this.
