Ice Melt For Wood Decks

Alright, let’s chat about a winter puzzle that’s got many of us scratching our heads: finding an ice melt that won’t turn our lovely wood decks into a DIY disaster come spring. It’s like walking a tightrope over a winter wonderland – you want to stay safe and slip-free, but at what cost to your beautiful deck?

The Icy Truth About Common Deicers And Your Deck

Picture this: It’s a chilly morning, your deck’s a slippery ice rink, and you reach for the trusty bag of salt-based ice melt – potassium chloride, maybe magnesium chloride, or the good ol’ calcium chloride. But here’s where the plot thickens.

  • Moisture Mayhem: These salts might melt ice in a jiffy, but they’re like uninvited guests for your wood deck. They invite moisture, leading to swelling, cracking, or worse, rotting. It’s like throwing a party and finding your house trashed the next day.
  • Corrosion Chaos: And it’s not just about the wood surface. These salts can be really tough on the hardware that holds your deck together. We’re talking about the nails, screws, and joists – these salts can slowly eat them away, compromising the safety and stability of your deck.
  • Pet Paws and Plant Woes: Let’s not forget our furry friends and the green buddies in your yard. The chloride runoff from these deicers can be harmful to both, turning your winter wonderland into a bit of a hazard zone.
