So I’ve used deckover years ago and I’m reading awful reviews on it currently-what do you suggest?
The deck is in direct sunlight, and I understand if it might not last long, but for every bad review, no one is saying what works well for them.
Thanks

Usually a good solid color stain with a waterproofer built in will help. You have to get the deck to bare wood and then clean any dirt or algae off with a good deck cleaner first. Wash all that off with a hose and let that dry out for a day or two. Then you stain your deck and do a minimum of two coats. Give it about 3 days to fully cure before you have heavy foot traffic or put furniture on it. Watch your weather and make sure you can get 3 or so decent days above 50 degrees
( I work in a paint dept. for my day job so this is second nature to me at this point )

I also did not read that as "deck" at first.

I thought about that when posting the title and then thought “Nah, I’m overthinking this”

My suggestion would be to just switch to composite decking since it's low maintenance but it's also a lot more expensive. So yeah, just clean it and stain as recommended.

Are you painting this because you got done with the wagon?

Hope you didn’t use too much wood polish. It can get slippery. Wouldn’t want you to strain yourself. Why do I feel like I need a shower?
