Installation requirements

Maintenance requirements
Also refer to Abodo Decking Maintenance Guidelines.
Wash down regularly (at least every 6 months) with mild detergent, warm water and soft brush.
All wood will go grey after extended exposure to the weather. To maintain colour use a brown
pigmented oil and re-apply on a regular basis.
Minor surface cracking or ‘checking’ may occur after exposure to the weather.
If decking is stained or oil finished, clean and re-apply coating as required every summer.

brush on and leave for 5 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with fresh water.
