Hello Ian, thanks for your response. I also have decided I should ‘bite the bullet’ so it’s good to get some positive feedback from your experience. I would be further interested to see which of the various shades you went for.
Regards

John

Hi Peter, if you’ve got teak deck then check my previous post. If you haven’t then check stanchion post base from the inside. You will have to remove the lining. You should soon locate the leak from the black stains.

I have discovered several leaks underneath the teak decking and the cure is fairly simple. If you inspect the caulking closely, every so often you will find a small length of caulking of approx 2 inches which also may have started to lift at the edges. Underneath these strips is a small hole that goes completely through the deck. You need to locate the hole nearest to the leak and you should find that the teak has lifted slightly and the water is running under the teak and down the hole. Just seal the small hole and replace the caulking you removed.
