How to help prevent your patio from going green
(1 vote)
Winter is on it's way and, like every year, your garden patio becomes slippery and green. Here is a way to help prevent your patio becoming dangerous and unsightly.
What you'll need:
Paint brush
Patio sealer
Knee pads
Time
1:
Make sure the patio is clean from all surface dirt and the weather isn't raining or too sunny
2:
Liberally paint the sealer evenly onto the patio, making sure you haven't left any puddles of sealer.
3:
Leave to dry using the recommended time on the instructions
4:
Apply a second coat and again leave to dry.
5:
That's it!
Conclusion:
For something that is reasonably priced and easy to apply, it makes sense to seal the patio. This will not totally stop the green but the algae wont penetrate, so a quick hose down will wash it away.
Tips:
Check the weather
Have a few hours spare
Check sealer on a small area before you start
