Some decks require sealing/ staining every 4 to 5 years. Some decks with full exposure to the sun may need to be resealed/ re-stained every 18 months. How long do I have to wait after power washing my deck to be able to stain/ seal it? Around 48 hours of dry weather is needed for the deck to properly dry out correctly. The last time I had my deck done, they sprayed sealer all over my vinyl siding and sliding door.
How long to wait before sealing a brand new deck? If you ask around you may receive a variety of answers as to how long you should wait to seal your deck following construction. Your carpenter may tell you three months, your father may tell you a year. These varied responses have a lot to do with the lumber industry, and how its procedures have changed over the years. Your father may have built a deck thirty years ago, but thirty years ago the lumber industry was cutting down old-growth trees for use.
