Ipe deck with failed Penofin

[Beth n Rod 1,279]

Here are some photos of an Ipe deck we began work on today. It has two coats of penofin on it, the second was applied without washing the deck. As you can see the deck is a mess. Black and green in many places. The house actually has two ipe decks on it, one measuring 1,895 sq. ft. the small one was 102 sq. ft. The large deck wraps around the house. It's all ipe except for the supports.

Was the pool that color BEFORE you started?

[Beth n Rod 1,279]

Yes, they just took the cover off and have not cleaned it for the season yet.

Gross isn't it?

I've seen that ugly Penofin look so many times I almost have nightmares about it! Thank goodness it's an easy stain to strip.

I'm sure the homeowner will be thrilled with the final results!

Very nice indeed!

Me too, Penofin is seriously overrated. Every deck I have seen is either so worn or black from mildew it's hard to tell what it looked like when first done. Tell Rod, I'm comin down there so he can teach me a thing or two about sealing ;) Looks, great Beth

Thanks Ken. Any time you want to come and play here, you are welcome.

Attaching a couple of pics of the finished deck. Enjoy!

B & R..

What beautiful work! As I am very new to all this, and have yet to do any decks, I'm curious about how you mask everything off.
