I refinished my girlfriend's deck two summers ago... stripped and sanded every damn inch of the thing. Refinished with two coats of semi-transparent Behr from Home Despot. No doubt not the finest product available, but that's what had been used before, and she wanted it to match. Now it's beggining to show age. I suspect if I didn't touch it, it would start peeling this fall or winter and I would have to strip and refinish again next year, giving me a three year lifespan.
Question is this: Could I clean and restain, and expect another two years? Or am I asking for adhesion problems or some other issue?
I would gladly clean and restain yearly if it meant avoiding the sanding nightmare.
