Welcome to our session today, where we'll be looking at 5 Ways To Safely Remove Ice From Your Deck

The use of an outside deck that is piled high with snow and ice layers is limited. It is in your best interest to keep your deck as free of ice and snow as possible during the winter months. Using snow and ice melt solutions and tools are various ways to do so. These include-

1.Late Autumn Is A Great Time To Get Your Deck Ready

Don’t put off thinking about your deck until the first big snowstorm. During the early weeks of winter or the last weeks of fall, plan. This will prevent moisture buildup and prevent any pre-existing problems from going undiscovered under a blanket of snow.

Before the first snowflakes fall, sweep away any dirt or trash.

Planters and pots should be removed. 

The Decks are usually equipped with drainage holes, which trap moisture between the pots and the deck’s surface.

2.Chemicals, Not Salt, Are Used To Melt Ice

To remove ice from your deck boards, get an approved de-icer or ice-melting solution. It should be done with caution because of some chemicals like sodium chloride, rock salt, and chlorine. They might harm or discolor the boards. Choose an ice melter that is safe for your deck board materials and use only as much as is necessary to melt the ice. A safe Paw is a great option. It’s a non-toxic, pet-safe, and environmentally friendly ice melter. Salt should also be avoided since it promotes corrosion on metal nails, screws, and joist hangers, resulting in structural instability.

3.Make Use Of A Broom

Instead of breaking out the shovel for a small snowfall, use a brush. The gentle bristles will gently remove the snow from your deck without scratching it. Brooms also prevent nails and screws from being mistakenly removed from the deck, as can happen when shoveling. Shovels, brooms, ice-removal chemical solutions, and snow blowers should all be kept in a convenient location in your home.

4.Shovel

When there’s a lot of snow, it’s time to get the shovel out. As previously noted, most decks can withstand roughly three feet of snowfall before being struc
