We live in maine and installed a pt deck 3 months ago. I plan on cleaning it with a pressure washer and letting it dry before staining with TWP 1500. The deck already has those little surface cracks all over. Is there anything else I should do to protect these cracking areas? I feel we should have stained it sooner but everyone tell you to let it weather first.
Cracks are normal for outside wood and nothing you can do to stop them or protect them further. They are not an issue.
