Re: 6x6 posts for deck
It was washed and recoated with Flood CWF ever 2-3 years. No pressure washer just a good bath. Between the covered area and open deck it is just under 1200 square feet to care for, not counting the pergola.
Because I selected the post, there was not a lot of sanding. Just enough to pretty them up.
The 90 would not be the best choice for 6x6's.

Re: 6x6 posts for deck
Thanks Tom for the info. I have used the CWF and liked it. However for most of my customers the idea of every 2 years or so doing a recoat is not their favorite. But it is that or let it age to grey.
I agree that you would want something bigger than the 90. I did not keep the 90 but did return it. Felt it was just not as well balanced or something. Like it was too tippy and felt that it was a bit awkard to handle in the agressive mode. Too small a footprint for the power it had. If I got one I would probably go with the 125 which is closer to what I am used to using and feel it would be a good compromise size. However, will probably wait until I see if the deck is a for sure thing before plunking down the $500 for the thing.
