Get your deck ready for entertaining today with Cabot’s EasyDeck decking oil.

Summer may be on its way out, but that doesn’t mean the season for outdoor entertaining is over. If you and your guests want to tread the decking boards for a while longer, but they’re starting to look a little tired and dull, do a quick D.I.Y. deck refresh with EasyDeck™ from Cabot’s.

This innovative clean-and-coat maintenance system is designed to be applied over existing water-based coatings that are in good condition. It’s the perfect option when you don’t have the time – or need – to do a full sand and recoat with Cabot’s Aquadeck. Instead, you can revive your deck in next to no time – and have the satisfaction of doing it all yourself.

Cabot’s EasyDeck Applicator is so simple to use

The convenience, ease and speed of this system is due to the easy-to-use Cabot’s EasyDeck Applicator and EasyDeck Applicator Pad. The applicator has a slot on the front of the handle for loading a bottle of Cabot’s EasyDeck Maintenance Coat directly inside, so that no trays or buckets are required to get the job done. Just follow our four simple steps to success (see below) and you can have a clean, fresh-looking deck that’s ready to walk on in 40 minutes*, with minimal fuss and no mess.

Follow these four simple steps for the best results

Step 1 - Prepare the timber

Use a broom or a leaf blower on the deck to remove any loose debris from the surface. If there’s heavy staining or bird droppings, spot-clean with Cabot’s Everyday Deck Wash, so dirt doesn’t get sealed in.

Step 2 - Attach the applicator pad

Slide the included Cabot’s EasyDeck Applicator Pad onto your applicator and close the latch firmly. Insert the pole and twist the collar until the pole is securely attached.

Step 3 - Load the applicator

Give the 1.5L bottle of EasyDeck Maintenance Coat a good shake to make sure it’s mixed well, load into the applicator, push it down and twist to ensure a good connection.

Step 4 - Apply the coating

Pump the applicator trigger 6-10 times to get the coating flowing and start coating your deck. We recommend that you apply the coating to one or two boards at a time, running in the direction of the timber. Allow to dry.
