DeckOver

It's actually a covered front porch. Nailed.
never used it myself but one of my friends has loved it so far
The main reason I want to use it, and I talking about the smooth finish not the textured one, is because the decking currently has a very dark brown solid stain weatherproof stain on it. I hate the color, and this seems to be the best option to change the color.
The wood itself isn't in bad shape, it's mainly the color I hate. And based on what's on it now, I know this deckover will work. But not sure how well actual paint will.
Is deckover not the same thing as paint?
Well, I guess in theory it is. But what I've got now is basically a paint to me. It's a solid stain, that looks like paint.
Will the olympic deck wash take off the stain? I know it will take off that thompsons honey brown (?). Being that dark of a stain, i would probably doubt it. Would be a cheaper option though.
Man, I've wrapped my existing posts in cedar, and greatly increased their size. So much of that decking now runs up under the cedar. I don't think I'd be able to get all these boards up.
Tell her you'll let her do all the painting and you'll pay for the cost. Even split.
gotcha. How long has that deckover stuff been around? It may work fine, but im skeptical of anything like that on wood. Especially with the humidity and seasonal temperature differences around here. It seems like the high traffic areas would wear sooner and painting on top of it later may not work well if the bottom layer starts flaking off.
