Nice deck length of side of home. Just needs help
How do I restore life to my deck?
Help! My deck needs some help. It has turned black in areas & has some rotting wood. It is still in good condition except for the few areas mentioned. I would love to figure out a way to cover all or part of it.
There seems to be some bad boards.

Power wash it then assess the damage. If it's just a few pieces that rotted replace those. Then you can stain it to brighten it up.
it looks like a very large deck on a not so large house. Do you need it to be that big? Also the house looks like it is only one story, so not too much height to have a roof top. I would sweep it thoroughly, don't power wash it, it looks too far gone for that, assess the condition, replace what boards are necessary to replace and keep it swept. Wet leaves etc will help erode the wood.
Thanks. I should have shown pictures of right after I blow leaves 🍁 off daily. There are a number of large maples that shade the deck. It is not weak anywhere but 2 small places. The house is one story only a958 sq ft so it is a small little home, thus the need for a large deck for family gatherings.
