Has anyone used this on a wood 2x4 deck with gaps between the boards? thanks Rich

Yes, I have a couple of weeks ago. It cleans very nicely and well worth the money. My deck is 15 x 18, is 23 years old and well worn but very usable. I'm very glad I bought it. It saved me a lot of time. Good luck!

Yes it will bond and it will fill the gap but I don't know how much it will shrink as it hardens. You might want to use a 3/4" board to lessen the gap first

I would not recommend this for a deck for a few reasons: 1. It is very soft, even when cured. It would handle the weather great, but would be destroyed by foot traffic very quickly. 2. It is a High Gloss (think glasslike) finish and I would think VERY slippery when wet. 3. It is very expensive, and you'd need multiple (8+) coats to build it up. I would check with the manufacturer to see if they have a different product suitable to your needs.

I used 5/4 pine decking. Worked like a champ. I wouldn't do a deck without this tool.

Funny you should mention that, bc I bought this hoping to be able to sand a deck. It works wonderfully on single boards, like a railing, so it'd work great for that. That's really what it's designed for. For the actual deck though, this would take FOR EH VER, so save yourself the trouble and get a belt sander or rent a floor sander from home depot. You'll thank yourself. As for grit, for a deck I'd probably go with 80 grit sand paper

Hopefully you would have better luck than I did. First results were fantastic. As winter progressed it started to bubble up....now it is peeling off. Very upset....now they tell you to sand your wood before using the product. If it is a new deck I would not use it....good luck.

I would say yes. I used stained boards left over from a previous deck and the clips are doing fine. The frame don't have mounts to bolt into wood. The clips and the frame are the same heavy duty aluminum.

I haven't but it does have an overlay for that software that is included. So I imagine it would work out fine. The deck is totally solid.

Yes-- makes contact with deck board away from where screw is applied to side of decking.

I put mine on a deck foundation using 2 by 6's for support and then deck boards on that. I did put 4X4's in concrete on all 4 corners and bolted the 2X6's to the 4X4's. Make your wood deck sturdy and keep working to keep it level and you should have no problems supporting the weight.

I would bet if you use paving stone underneath and make sure the stone goes out 8 to 12 inches from every side of the fire pit it will be fine to use on a wooden deck. Make sure the stone completely covers the deck under the fire pit and there are no gaps.

I'm not sure because the plastic legs have slots for the screws that are spaced for 2x4's. If you use 2x8's I'm sure you would hit enough of the slots but the gaps between the pieces of wood may be too large. When we put ours together I was kind of surprised how large the gap was between the 2x4's. I'm sure they make the plastic legs wide enough that it won't cause a problem if your 2x4's are not 100% straight as so often happens. So if you use four 2x8's you would only have 3 gaps between the pieces of wood instead of 7 gaps using eight 2x4's.

we use it on a wooden deck, but we built a platform with garden paving stones to raise it up since it is so short. we've had no problems with it like that!

yes.....if the wood is unsealed or not painted it may penetrate the surface and enter the grain...if the wood product is sealed or painted it works just as described. You might want to consider "Wet and Forget" also...google it and read its applications..I use it on wood decking.

It depends on how large the split is. IT helps immensely with dry boards and has restored minor splits on my boards. You do have to be sure and keep them oiled as you use them. It works kind of like lotion to your hands, you do have to keep reapplying as nature does dry them.

depends on the width of the crack/space between the deck boards. I would place a tarp to protect anything below - if the space is wide, the product is going fall through the cracks. I experienced this - see pictures of my deck (and space width of decking): cut and paste URL into your browser: link to all pics --> http://www.flickr.com/photos/12023977@N06/sets/72157629490063928/link to close up(s) --> http://www.flickr.com/photos/12023977@N06/6932719244/in/set-72157629490063928/

there is nothing wrong with the tool however, gluing a bunch of 2x4's 2x6' etc. together will only work for a few weeks . These boards will shrink and generate a huge amount of splits and gaps as they WILL shrink..., can't be avoided. Plywood over boards is a better idea.
