According to the Old Farmer’s Almanac, the spring equinox falls on Wednesday, March 20, 2019, at 5:58 P.M. EDT. This occasion is the astronomical first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere. With the arrival of spring, it ushers in warmer temperatures and more reasons to get outside. Is your deck ready for you to enjoy this spring?
Preparing Your Deck For Spring
- Do a thorough check of your deck to make sure there is no damage after the winter season. Check under your deck for things like rot, mildew or nails that have popped out. Check for railings that may be loose as well. If it’s snowed in your area, that load could cause structural damage to your deck.
- Check for loose or broken boards to see if they need to be repaired or replaced.
- Check for structural issues that caused leaning. Also, check to make sure the deck has not pulled away from your home. This serious condition could be the result of your columns or supports sinking over time.
If you have structural issues, such as deck post settling, happening at your home, it’s time to get that repaired so you and your family can safely enjoy your deck this spring and beyond. If your columns or supports are sinking into the ground, your deck will become unlevel and unstable.
