Timber decks oiled or painted in Melbourne

Deck painting is the timber underfoot: the deck, the rails, the boards people walk on with wet feet. Melbourne decks fail from UV and standing water, not from a bad colour chart. Baldo oils or paints that timber from Brunswick so it does not grey off in one summer.

This is not the house-exterior page. Walls, weatherboards and render stay on exterior painting. A deck needs a timber product and a dry window. Paint over damp boards and it skins, then lifts.

Paint or oil

The existing timber decides. Bare grey boards need a different prep to a deck that still has film on it. Rails and treads wear at different rates.
