That's a great looking deck Felicia! I know I'm about 6 months late to the party here, but what color or brand of coating did you choose to paint this deck? My wife and I are looking at a wide variety of colors from this brand - Pool Paints and Deck Coatings from Smart Seal - and since we are still in the "acquiring ideas" part of our research, we would love to know what you ended up choosing.
