Australia’s climate is brutal on timber decks — UV, rain, mould, humidity, coastal salt, and extreme heat all attack timber year-round.
But with the SIMPL method, you can keep your deck strong, safe and beautiful without stress, trade skills or complicated instructions.

This book breaks down deck maintenance into clear, beginner-friendly steps using plain language and SIMPL lingo.

Inside, you’ll learn:

• how timbr types behave outdoors

• how to clean away dirt, mould and stains

• how to fix loos boards, cracks and raised nails

• when to sand and how much to sand

• how to apply oil, stain or paint correctly

• how to avoid sticky or patchy coatings

• how Australian seasons affect your deck

• how to create a long-term maintenance routine

• how to spot rot early and prevent structural issues

• how to increase deck lifespan using airflow, drainage and simple habits

This book covers everything a homeowner, DIY enthusiast or beginner needs to look after any deck — hardwood, softwood or hybrid — using a smart, SIMPL approach that actually works.
