Deck winterizing tips for Edmonton homeowners?

Sophia Young · · 3 replies

I’m about to prep my wooden deck for winter in Edmonton and want to make sure I do it right to prevent damage from snow and freezing temps. Any tips on cleaning, sealing, or protective covers that work well here? I’ve heard using deck covers can trap moisture, so not sure about that.

Clean the deck thoroughly and apply a good waterproof sealant before snow falls.

Avoid plastic covers that trap moisture; breathable canvas covers are better.

Make sure to remove snow regularly to avoid heavy weight stress.
