Innovative Tool Extends Life of Wooden Decks

American homeowners and homebuyers have rated exterior wood decks as the most desired and enjoyed outdoor feature of their homes. However, wood decks are not living up to their potential lifespan because of a lack of basic maintenance, which leads to premature damage from dry rot. The primary cause of dry rot in decks is wet organic debris trapped between the surface boards. A deck filled with wet organic debris mimics the dry rot fungus' niche in the natural ecosystem: living on fallen wood on the forest floor. Clear The Deck Tool Company's unique new DECKHAND is the only tool developed specifically to aid in the maintenance of a deck's appearance and to help prevent the growth of destructive dry rot by removing this debris in a safe, fast, and easy manner.

The patented DECKHAND is a high quality tool originally designed and built for heavy duty commercial use. The specially shaped tool head is stainless steel for toughness and corrosion resistance. The nose piece which glides along the deck surface is molded from a high-tech engineering polymer. All the handles are high strength aluminum tubing with a super durable heat-fused enamel finish. The tool head and the nose piece are through-riveted to the handle with stainless steel rivets to form a super-strong assembly. And only the DECKHAND has the patented feature of Constant Depth Control: this enables the tool to clean the whole depth of the gap between the boards at whatever angle the handle is held, without contact or interference with your deck's substructure!

The method for using the DECKHAND deck cleaning tool is similar to using a pushbroom. Another great feature of the tool is that it removes trapped debris both by pushing foward and pulling back on the handle. The tool glides back and forth nearly effortlessly and achieves fast results without wasted motion. Pushing the DECKHAND foward will result in the debris being moved downward and out of the gap, and pulling back will lift out any stubborn deeply lodged debris. In fact, the DECKHAND is so effective that it will easily pull out rocks which have been hammered down into the gaps to far below the deck's surface!

While the standard DECKHAND with its 54" handle was designed for ultra-fast deck cleaning while standing, the DECKHAND is also available in two additional handle lengths.The hand tool version with its 16" handle was designed for use on stairways, benches, porches, balconies, and other "close quarter" situations.

The DECKHAND has been featured in top national magazines, radio, network television; and has been recommended by deck refinishers and structural pest control experts as the best tool the homeowner or professional can use for the maintenance of architectural wood decks that are sited under all types of landscape trees. The DECKHAND Deck Flosser has also been enthusiastically endorsed by thousands of happy wood deck owners!
