Dock

[sjpressurewashin 64]

Hello Everyone,

Had a HO call today and wanted to know if we could strip a dock that is less than two years old. I told yes we could but I have one question for all the pro's. What should I use that will not harm the water and fish in the pond? The HO said that James T Davis Solid water based decking stain was used, it is now peeling.

Thanks for any help.

We do some dock work up here, but we always do it prior to putting it in the water, or after they pull it for the winter. If its a permanent dock you could put out floating berms (think oil spill cleanup) to catch any loose debris, but containing the chems will be a royal PITA. It may be a job to pass on, unless you can get the dock floor off the water.

On a side note I remember Shane B. (of Baker's Grey Away fame), has done some nice dock work. Maybe he'll chime in.
