Had a few deck boards that were completely rotten through. As in step in the wrong spot and the foot is going through the deck. And a few others that were just half rotten.
Previous owner, I swear bought the cheapest deck paint. Or not even deck paint and just bought outdoor paint and gave the deck a coat before selling it. Within a year it was completely worn off. Luckily due to hail damage insurance is paying for a sanding and painting of the deck (and other things too, but that’s irrelivent)
I still have one more I need to do tomorrow.


Mine was super wet. Beads of water bubbled out when I was sinking in the screws. They keep the boards outdoors and uncovered.
