Cheers
Ben

The grooves in the decking definately go face down. They are designed to keep the moisture from collecting on the timber and causing it to rot. Lay it face up and you will get a very short life span from your deck.

When it comes to staining, I highly recommend SIKKENS. Expensive at about $175 a can but the results are…[Read more]
