Can you use it on wooden decks?

Yes The problem with the product is that if you need parts you can not get them it has been discontinue.

I use mine on concrete. It has steel propellers with rubber pads. I think it could chew up your deck and it's finish.If you refinish it every year you might not care. If you keep the back wheels on the ground I'd say it's less likely to chew up deck. I like my snowblower. The cord is a little frustrating but not messing with gas oil and maintenance and starting is nice.

First of all. Do not buy. 1) Manufacturer no longer produces it. 2) No one sells parts for it. 3) Quality of my machine was very poor. Lasted only one season. First the ABS housing developed many cracks. I repaired with abs plastic and plumbing cement, but the motor-winding burned out first time I used it this year. Have now bought a Toro of similar characteristics and it seems to work very well (Cost: $200) A little concerned about quality since it also has many plastic parts. But at least you can buy parts for it. Yes, I would use it on a wooden deck if I had one, as scraper bar and rotor are plastic. First of all.

I guess you could if the coating is uniform and adheres to the surface. I have only used it on untreated wood.

I use mine on concrete and it does a great job. I feel like it will do you a good job on the deck....R. Hobbs

Jean, I would say probably not. The idea is to spread the stuff thickly on to horizontal decking. You might be able to thin it a bit and brush it on, but it would seem to me not as effective. Why don't you visit their website as they have lots of good information. BTW our decks still look great and it is holding up well. - John

I use it on my wooden deck every time and I've not had a problem. It doesn't even discolor it. Get a sheet of cement backer-board (used under floor tiling) to put underneath if you're worried.

I wouldn't risk using this on a wood deck. Mine was used on a stone patio and after 1 use, the pad disintegrated in the center.

It would probably take you a while depending on the size of the deck. I'd consider a belt sander for the surface, although this would be good for rails.

I've used it on a ton of stuff. Works great for me. As per your question, I've never used it on a cedar deck, but as one person already stated, the site has a lot of testimonial videos and one of them is cedar siding. So your deck shouldn't be a problem.

I would not sipmly due to the heat from the fire pit. It works well and looks nice. I would use extreme caution on a wood deck.

Yes you an use it on bamboo floors. It is a wonderful product. I even put a coat of it on my entrance table and sideboard.

I have never used it on wood so I can't be sure but we are using it on a kitchen counter top and have not had a problem.

If the wood, on the deck, is not rotted you can use the wood filler for repair. Any rot must be removed and replaced first. If the wood is "soft" you may be able to use "wood hardener" from Minwax before using the filler.

Yes and no. There is solid gel fuel and liquid gel fuel I would use it with solid gel fuel on a wood deck. The liquid gel fuel could spill and start a fire

I've used this on deck floors and ceilings and other wooden projects to try and get down to bare wood... It works well, but the motor on these do not seem to be the correct output, and it burns out. If you use this stripper on an automobile, it might unnecessarily scratch the metal...

I would say no, but I don't have a wooden deck, so I can't say for sure. However, it's hard plastic with a durable aluminum strip along the edge. It's a very well made piece, but is not heavy. What do you use on your deck now? It's basically a very big plastic shovel, so if you use a plastic shovel now, it's the same. If you use a metal shovel, this would be even better. Hope this helps.

No, when you apply it, it's VERY thick and goopy, so vertical lumber would just drip down. Suggestions are to use regular paint/stain for deck posts, so I imagine you'd have to do the same for vertical boards.

I haven't tried it on my wooden deck but it does transfer a lot of heat to the grass under it so I would use caution on a deck or maybe put paving stones under it to be safe!!!
