Hi. We have just pressure washed our wooden decking. Not sure of age but smooth rather than ridged. Pale wood, feels warm to bare feet. It's come up well but we're hesitating over putting any products on it. Does it have to be stained/waxed/varnished? If so, what sort of product/application method is most effective? Dreading hours of brush and sponge work...Many thanks for any advice.
Decking...what now?

I have never decorTed decking but surely it's the easiest thing to refinish?
A belt or orbital sander if it needs it, then a sponge/brush/roller?
Easier than a fence and easier than indoor decoration where the finish is important?
More like a fence only horizontal?

Thanks. Long handled roller sounds excellent. My point really was whether decking MUST be stained in some way to protect from elements or whether it can be left naked, as it were...
