Maintenance

Acclimate Boards Before Installation

Store cedar boards flat on site for seven to ten days before installation. This reduces post-installation shrinkage, gapping, and board movement.

Maintain Correct Gap Spacing

Always leave a minimum 1/8 inch gap between boards. Consistent spacing prevents buckling and keeps Missouri cedar decks looking even year after year.

Use Corrosion-Resistant Fasteners Only

Always use hot-dipped galvanized, stainless steel, or aluminum fasteners. Cedar's natural oils react with standard steel, causing rust staining and surface damage.

Seal All Surfaces Including Board Ends

Apply a UV-resistant stain or sealant to all four sides and both ends of every board. Unsealed end grain absorbs moisture fast and causes early splitting.

Ensure Proper Deck Ventilation

Keep joists at least 18 inches off the ground and avoid enclosing the deck underside. Good airflow reduces moisture retention and long-term structural issues.
