Sealing newly laid deck

[tomyslady]

I have just finished laying a pressure treated deck. We live in Fl. and we get rain almost everyday, now, because of the rainy season. When should I consider putting a sealer down, and what is recommended?
Thank you,
Lorraine

You should wait for 3-6 months before sealing. Keep an eye on it and when it looks like water is starting to soak in instead of beading up on it, seal it. You should have a minimum 4 hour window without rain, more if possible. Check the label on your sealer. There are many good sealers, it just depends on where it is convenient for you to buy it.

Take care.
