I always thought I would replace the aging treated deck boards with eastern red cedar but I could not get enough decent red cedar logs to mill the quantity needed. As time passed I had to address rotting issues so I removed the bad boards and replaced them with treated pine from TarHeel Woodtreating with the intent of using a deck paint to make the color uniform. All my boards (old and new) are screwed down with Torx screws and any paint would fill the screw heads and the boards would be very difficult to remove should they ever need it and I don't like making something that is so difficult to repair.
I need advice on options on how to make it uniform starting with 1) replace the rest of the old boards and stain, to 2) paint anyway. What would you do?
It's too bad I couldn't get cedar; sort of like the cobbler's children have no shoes.
