Einleitung
When exposed to the elements wooden decks can warp and rot to the point that the boards become hazards. In order to remove these hazards, the rotted boards must be replaced.
Before using this guide, check to see if any deck boards need replacing. Look to see if the boards are splintered, cracked, or warped (the wood is no longer even). If any of the deck boards look like that, those are the onces that will need replacing.
By following this guide you’ll end up bringing back the structural integrity of your deck as well as improve the appearance of your deck too!
