Dimensions: 80-feet length, 45-feet width, the front deck is 6-feet wide, side deck is 4-feet wide, back deck is 15-feet. The left side of this drawing omits a large area, about 12-feet wide with another stairway.
The project is to replace some boards, screw down some loose ones, sand as needed, use a prep solution and wash, then coat with Behr Deck Over. This product has a consistency of peanut butter on the paint roller. It really fills and seals the wood. We used three 5-gallon buckets of Deck Over.
Coating a 12-foot by 12-foot area, from the house to the bench under the grape arbor, took about two-and-a-half hours, in hot, 80-degree sun. It was necessary to paint small areas and back brush quickly, before the coating skinned over.

Cut treated wood, then treat the ends.
There is a 6-foot by 8-foot theatrical stage on the back deck, which we moved aside, coated under and replaced, then painted the deck around it.
We added some drainage holes to the deck, one in front near the garden hoses. There's a built -in bench under a grape arbor. We put the wrought iron table on the bench and drilled drainage holes under the bench, too. Coating under the bench with eight legs took about half-an-hour.
