a gate does not swing, latch or sit as intended. Prepare the accepted sound surface and apply the agreed compatible deck-coating system in its required stages.
Signs: outdoor timber looks weathered and needs a focused maintenance or repair decision or an accessible board, rail, gate fitting or timber surface shows wear, movement or a damaged finish. Causes: weather exposure and ordinary surface deterioration or an aged coating, stain or finish that needs preparation before maintenance.
The gaps and edges need to remain appropriate for the existing deck arrangement. Coating is not a way to fill movement gaps or conceal damaged boards. Show narrow, blocked or uneven gaps so the preparation can be reviewed before application.
The selected system may require more than one stage with drying between applications. Follow the product sequence instead of treating an extra thick coat as equivalent. Access and weather need to support those stages before scheduling is confirmed.
Prepare the accepted sound surface and apply the agreed compatible deck-coating system in its required stages. Limits: Compatible film coatings on sound accessible timber only. No slip certification, hazardous stripping, structural repairs or waterproofing-system claims.
