How to refresh and protect your timber deck
Geneva Vanderzeil rejuvenates her outdoor space with our Feast Watson Timber & Deck Stain in Black Japan
Now that spring has well and truly sprung and we approach the festive season, it's the perfect time to refresh and protect your deck. Whether you're going for a more traditional finish or wanting to liven your space up with colour, the transformation process is simple.
Geneva Vanderzeil couldn't go into summer with a sad, weathered deck, so recently did something about it! She decided that a gorgeous new stain would completely rejuvenate the space. Using our Feast Watson Woodclean™ and a high pressure hose she prepared the deck, then applied two coats of our stunning Feast Watson Timber & Deck Stain in Black Japan.
The result? A dreamy outdoor space ready to create Christmas memories on. Want to learn how she completed her deck transformation? Continue reading.
