Our house (eastern Long Island) has a 12â?? x 30â?? wooden deck on the back.  
It came with the house so we donâ??t know its age, but it is far from new.  It 
will need to be replaced eventually, but weâ??d like to get at least a few more 
years out of it.  Plus, our 1 year old granddaughter will be walking and 
crawling on it this summer, so Iâ??d like to do what I can to both preserve the 
wood and her feet and knees.  I planned on using one of the thick paint 
products made for this purpose, but most of the reviews on them are pretty 
lousy.  Rustoleum Restore is probably the worst according to Amazon, Home Depot 
and Loweâ??s customers - possibly the worst I have ever seen for any product.  
Other brands like Behr, Olympic and Anvil have generally better reviews, but 
many, many customers still complain about lifting and peeling within a year of 
installation.  I know how critical preparation is on a product like this, but 
virtually all complaints seem to include a statement about having followed the 
directions exactly.  Still, Iâ??d rather hear that from someone I trust.  Does 
anyone here have any experience with one of these products? 

Thanks,

Jim
