A seasonal guide to deck maintenance for Palmerston North’s unique weather conditions.
Keeping your deck in top shape year-round in Palmerston North requires a seasonal maintenance approach. Here's what to do each season to keep your deck looking and performing at its best.
Inspect your deck for sun damage and give it a fresh clean with a mild detergent or specialised deck cleaner.
Clear leaves and debris that can trap moisture. Consider applying a fresh coat of stain or oil before the wet months begin.
Check for pooling water or slippery spots. Avoid using salt or harsh chemicals which can degrade surfaces.
Do a full inspection: tighten loose nails, check for signs of rot, and plan any major repairs or upgrades.
With a little effort each season, your deck will stay safe, beautiful, and functional all year round.
