Greying deck advice

[terryhawkins]

I built a deck earlier which was oiled with Liberon decking oil.

I've noticed that parts of the deck have started to go grey, so...

Do I oil it now to stop it greying further?
or
Do I just leave it and oil it next year?

how long since you last oiled it? Frankly the more often the better.

I built a deck earlier which was oiled with Liberon decking oil.

You mean, earlier today?!

You mean, earlier today?!

Oops, I meant earlier this year.

I gave it another coat yesterday and now looks much better. Hopefully it dried enough before the rain came overnight!

OK, so the rain did come a bit too soon it seems...

I've now got a few lighter patches on the decking which are starting to show up as the decking is drying.

Any advice?

Do I just leave it and let it all weather and apply again next year?

yea i think that sounds like the best plan.
