An Armstrong Clark deck....is a sweet thing in life!

[Beth n Rod 1,279]

Here's a pic of a deck we recently did. It's nothing fancy, or special, just a small postage stamp type upper level deck on a town house. But with the AC Semi-Cedar and Cedar Toner blended it sure looks nice!

Nice. I am doing my first AC deck with Sequoia will finish up today just in time for the 4th.

kind of orangey, ain't it?

[Beth n Rod 1,279]

It's what the customer chose. It's actually really popular out here. Keep in mind that was just applied. It should mellow out a bit. The photo was taken from the ladder on the way off the deck.

Is that the super sedar semi solid? I did not get a wood chip of that color and have not used it yet. I have used all of the other colors including the oxford brown. My fav is the mountain cedar.

Semi-cedar blended with Cedar Toner. I can ask Rod the ratio if you like.

Beth,

Real nice work. Don't you just love prepping and staining those "ray" designed spindles?

I like that A-C color mix on PT.

[Beth n Rod 1,279]

Oh hey - the white plastic lattice is uber fun too!

Looks Great Beth! I also like the 50/50 mix.

[Greg R 82]

Looks awesome!

[Tonyg 14]

Beth, Are the verticals the same color as the deck or is it a two-tone ?

Have you used it on older borads yet? I'm wondering if it would be darker.

[Beth n Rod 1,279]

It's all the same. :sunshine: Lots of light refraction on the deck.

[acegot 14]

Beth looks outstanding! I love that color combo as well. How old is that deck?

[Bryan C 14]

Beautiful. What is the ratio?

[Beth n Rod 1,279]

3:2. 3 semi, 2 toner.

That's a nice'un Beth!. Maybe you guys can go back and get some wider pics off a tall ladder. Seems a cover page winner..

Lyle, I like your results too. That sanding probably made huge difference.. can you share us up what you used for that work?. orbitable, or full on floor machinery?

Very Very Lovely !I love that plastic lattice(not) but a spray bottle of M spirits is handy when going around them .

Kevin, I used the maintainer w/ sanding drive pad w/36gr, then 12x18 orbital w/60gr. Checkout this thread. http://www.thegrimescene.com/forums/wood-cleaning-restoration-decks-fences-etc/16512-proper-use-floor-sander.html

Ahh great Lyle.. I've spoke on here of using them as well. You mentioned helping Matt out with one. You know if he ever settled on a perticular one? Hey where ya at Matt?
