 It really does a great job of doing it. So it's something to consider, especially if it's a deck that you're going to be there. Maybe you just bought the house, you're building a new house, and you really want to go that route with it. This can be a great way to extend the life of it without having to get into other materials like aluminum or steel or some of these other materials that, of course, will last longer in most situations than wood.
