My husband has wanted to clean up our back deck for the past several months, but he received some motivation last week when he got a Fed Ex delivery of Thompson’s Water Seal products.
The first box contained some bottles of a new deck cleaner from Thompson’s, Oxy Foaming Action Cleaner. This biodegradable Oxy cleaner gets dirt and mildew off the typical outdoor culprits- wood and concrete- but also outdoor fabrics. The second box was full of bottles of Thompson’s Advanced Tinted Wood Protector, a product that protects decks from future damage while giving the surface a nice tinted color.
Ryan wants to make our back deck a nice place for family cookouts and evening game nights in the warmer months, so I’m excited to see the end result once we tackle the project later this month with the Thompson’s products. We received the honey tint, which should look fab on our deck!
So if the dad on your Father’s Day shopping list has been wanting to tackle his deck this summer too, treat him to Thompson’s, America’s leading deck care product line. And there’s a bonus- through 2010, Thompson’s is giving $1 to the National Parks Foundation for each product purchased. What a great way to buy for Dads and help our National Parks!
Time for the giveaway!
The prize: One winner will receive a Thompson’s Water Seal Deck Care Kit, containing 4 bottles of Oxy Foaming Cleaner and 4 bottles of Advanced Tinted Wood Protector. (Value: $120)
Open to U.S. residents only.

My favorite memory of our deck would be 10 years ago in August. It was my hisbands 31st Birthday party. We spent time with his best firend that night, good quality fun times. The very next day his friend died .Thank Goodness we had that night of memories!

I actually got to help build the deck on my childhood home. I clearly remember helping nail in the boards. I thought I was the coolest girl ever! The deck ran the length of our house and quickly became the outdoor neighborhood roller skating rink!
I moved from Boston to Atlanta 4 years ago. Last summer, one of my best friends came down to spend a week with me. Every night after we put our kids down for bed, we sat up for hours out on the deck just talking. It was so peaceful and such a great bonding experience for us!
my hushband is also fixin up out door spaces for us to enjoy as a family.
Cooking on the grill and being with family and friends.

My favorite memory is taking family pictures for the spring, summer, and fall holidays and birthdays on the back deck.

The house we’re in now is the first one I’ve ever lived in with a back deck. My husband and I love to unwind after the kids go to bed with a glass of wine as the sun is setting.
We had a nice back deck when I was growing up – we had lots of bday parties on it. I mostly remember the fun we had playing with our kiddie pool on the porch during the hot summers though!

We don’t have a back deck but this is the summer project for us so that giveaway would be wonderful!
Back deck–great place for a summer-evening picnic. Just sitting back, watching the kids catch fireflies…
I remember watching as our back deck was built when I was a kid. It was neat to see the back patio be poured and then the deck built over it.
My favorite thing to do on our deck is play with my son and his water park.
Our deck definately needs some love!
Watching the stars at night is a very fun thing to do at night on the deck. Along with summer BBQs.
Some fond memories are watching thunderstorms with my Dad and eating watermelon with my sister and spitting the seeds!! Thanks!!
I’m a FAN on Facebook!!
My Uncle and Aunt had a huge deck growing up and we spent so may nights out on that deck as a family…some of my best memories.
When my sister and I were little we used to have a bucket that our grandparents would fill out peanuts. We had certain squirrels that would come to our house every morning and eat the peanuts out of our hands. Thinking about it today, it probably wasn’t very safe with rabies, but we enjoyed it. My husband and I just moved into a house with a gorgeous deck that backs up to a nature preserve. I cannot wait to create some memories on it.
we had a dog that always wore her life jacket and would run around the deck and jump in the pool. she was funny.

My memories with a back deck are recent, my in laws have one and we have family barbeques on it :) Special family time!
Our first home had a deck that we used for BBQ’s and youth fellowships [Hubby was a youth minister then]. Had a lot of laughs on that deck.
I remember lying out by the pool on the deck in the summer. Ahhh… Thanks!
I’m also an email subscriber. Thanks!
My favorite deck memory was building it- in a thunderstorm. I just knew my hubby was going to get electrocuted but he would not stop until it was complete. Then my carpenter uncle showed up from out of town on a whim and he helped make the post caps decorative.

I remember standing outside watching my dad grill steaks. Sometimes he would let me squirt the lighter fluid onto the charcoal (we lived dangerously back then!). It doesn’t sound like much, but I think of my dad every time I smell charcoal!

We used to always have big family gatherings on our deck growing up — it was huge and we would all be eating/cooking/playing on the deck — so much fun!

Growing up, we had a wrap-around porch, not a back deck, but my in-laws have a fabulous back deck that is great for grilling out. I love sitting out there with a book when we stay with them, I know they would love to refinish it!

Not really a “sentimental, warm-fuzzy” memory… but I remember when we were little, my sister got mad for some reason, and threw one of our plastic chairs over the deck (2-story house) and it broke. I’ve given her a hard time about that as long as I can remember! Haha. :)

Oh gosh that would be when I was a kid, our deck had stairs that went down halfway, then split in both directions down to the ground. The railing was about 8 feet off the ground. My brother and I used to try to jump off of that railing and see who could jump the farthest. Of course we always got in trouble but we never got hurt!

We always have our birthday parties out on our decks, they are always fun.
I had a concrete deck growing up and my biggest memory is busting my head open on it on rollerskates, ha. Now our deck is wood and it needs to be treated!
