Decking requires regular brushing with a good stiff broom to remove leaves or plants that could rot on the wood.

Wash down decking with a pressure spray twice a year to remove any residue that might make it slippery.

Unless stained, decking will gradually fade to a pleasant grey colour. However, staining decking means you will have to re-paint if it gets scratched.
