PW Asks: Should deck rail be painted?
Painter says: Not unless it’s already been painted. Flat surfaces will build up ice and snow and crack if moisture gets beneath them and then peel. Vertical surfaces should be okay. Otherwise – if it’s been stained, stay with a semi-transparent stain to protect the wood – typically needs to be done every couple years depending on how it ages and how you want it to look.
PW replies: I see what you mean. For more information - this expert looks like he knows what he's talking about when it comes to decks maintenance.
