The
day you finish installing a deck or other structure is the day
trouble can start. Morning dew, rainwater and melting ice or
snow are quickly absorbed by unprotected wood, causing it to
soften and swell. Direct exposure to the sun's heat causes drying,
which makes wood shrink. Continuous cycles of wet and dry, swelling
and shrinking, cause wood to warp, split, crack and check -
all of which lead to premature wood degradation and expensive
repairs.
Unprotected
wood is also subject to surface graying caused by constant exposure
to the sun's ultraviolet rays. Persistent moisture exposure
creates ripe conditions for the growth of mildew, mold, algae
and other fungal organisms that feed on wood, eventually spreading
across and staining the surface. Termites and other wood boring
insects also use wood for a food source, causing ultimate wood
rot and decay.
