Wood, when exposed to sufficient moisture,
becomes an attractive food for a variety of fungi. You can't
eliminate the fungi, their spores are always present in the
air. To become active, these fungi require moderate temperatures.
oxygen and wood with a moisture content of 19% or more. If
you think about it, decks on Long Island provide just such
an environment almost all year. If any of these conditions
are removed the fungi becomes dormat again. Proper board spacing,
the use of pressure treated wood and regular applications
of sealers all help prolong the life of your deck.

SEALING
& STAINING
You can enhance the color of your
exterior wood with stains and sealers. Many stains
include a sealer. When wood absorbs moisture,
its fibers swell, over time the surface becomes
rougher and small cracks are likely to open. This
does not usually cause structural problems immediately
but fasteners eventually may loosen and the boards
tend to develope small cracks. Penetrating sealers
will help your wood shed moisture. Some sealers
block the sun's ultra violet rays. To remain effective,
decks must be washed and sealers must be applied
usually every year or two.
