Deck Staining · Belle Meade
A Raised Belle Meade Deck Washed Bare, Then Stained Gray-Taupe
This Belle Meade deck stands on tall posts over a slope behind a brick house, with a railing of horizontal boards between square posts. The frames follow the job in order: bare boards, boards still wet after washing, and the finished deck in an opaque gray-taupe stain on the boards, the railing and the step down to the landing.
Deck Cleaning and Staining Done in the Right Order
Deck staining starts with cleaning, because stain on dirty or gray wood fails early. One frame shows a support post half stained with blue tape around its metal base bracket, which is the kind of edge that gets masked rather than guessed.
