Dear Wayne,

I must write to you to express my sincere thanks and gratitude to you for the absolutely wonderful job you have undertaken with my Ambulance Service Medals.

Looking back on previous work that I have had done - none compare! Your own diligence and absolute dedication is just so obviously displayed in your attention to detail.

To me, this also displays both respect and professional care of people's hard-earned Awards, both in the Military and us in "Civvy Street".

In this regard, I salute you and thank you for your wonderful skills, dedication and total past Service to our Country.

With all my respect to you,

Alan Caust OStJ; JP(Qual)Qld; RN(Rtd); MIAO(Aust) (Rtd).

PS: You have my permission to use this note for any promotional work - as I stand by what I have written. Alan.

How the Weather Wrecks Your Deck (And What You Can Do About It)

Australia’s weather is wild—one minute it’s baking sun, the next it’s torrential rain. And while we Aussies are pretty good at handling it, your timber deck? Not so much.

Exposure to the elements is the number one cause of deck damage, and if you’re not maintaining your deck regularly, the weather will take its toll faster than you think. In this blog, we’ll break down exactly how the seasons wreck your deck—and how DeckSeal’s professional deck maintenance services can help you fight back.

☀️ Sun: The Silent Fader

UV rays are relentless. They dry out the timber, break down protective coatings, and fade your deck’s natural colour until it turns a dull, grey mess. Over time, this leads to cracking, splintering, and structural weakness.

Protect it: Regular sealing blocks UV rays and helps retain the rich colour and integrity of your timber. We recommend resealing every 10-12 months depending on sun exposure.

🌧 Rain: Moisture’s Hidden Damage

Rainwater is a sneaky enemy. If your deck isn’t sealed properly, water seeps into the timber, causing rot, warping, and mould growth. Even small gaps in the sealant let moisture in—and once it’s in, damage spreads fast.

Prevent it: DeckSeal uses professional-grade sealants to lock out water. We also provide deep deck cleaning to remove mould, mildew, and algae that thrive in damp conditions.

🍂 Autumn: Leaf Litter Trouble

Fallen leaves might look harmless, but when they pile up, they trap moisture against the timber surface. This causes tannin stains, encourages mould growth, and speeds up timber breakdown.

Clean it: Regular sweeping helps, but if you’ve let it build up, book a professional deck clean to restore your surface and prevent long-term staining.

❄️ Winter: Cold, Wet, and Rot-Prone

Cold weather slows evaporation, meaning water sits longer on your deck. This leads to long-term saturation and increases the risk of wood rot, especially in shaded areas.

Check it: Winter is the perfect time for a deck inspection and prep before spring. Spot problems early, fix them fast, and avoid bigger costs later.

Weather Happens. Damage Doesn’t Have To.

You can’t control the weather—but you can control how your deck responds to it. With regular cleaning, sealing, and maintenance from DeckSeal, your timber deck can stay safe, strong, and stunning through every season.
