CARING AND MAINTAINING YOUR PATIO COVER, DECK, AND SCREENED ENCLOSURES

Patio covers, decks, and screened enclosures are popular additions to many homes. These features add beauty and functionality to your backyard while protecting you from the elements. However, it is important to remember that these features also require regular maintenance if they are going to remain in good condition over time. In this blog post, we will discuss some tips for keeping your patio cover, deck, and screened enclosures looking great.

Regular cleaning of your patio cover can help keep it looking like new for years to come. To clean your patio cover thoroughly and safely, you should use a mild soap solution and warm water. It is important not to use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they can damage the material of the cover. Once you have washed off the dirt and grime with the soap mixture, be sure to rinse off all residue with clear water. If needed, you may need to repeat this process several times until all dirt is removed from the cover’s surface.

Your deck also needs regular upkeep if it is going to last for years. Every two or three years (or more often if exposed to inclement weather), it’s a good idea to inspect your deck for any signs of damage such as cracking wood or rusty nails/screws that need replacing. It is important not only for appearance but also safety reasons that these areas be repaired quickly before they cause further damage or become hazardous. Additionally, it’s a good idea to give your entire deck a good scrub down at least once per year with a mild soap solution in order to keep mold and mildew at bay as well as remove any built-up dirt or debris that has accumulated over time.

Screened enclosures require some special care due to their unique construction materials which make them both durable and lightweight at the same time.
