In addition to being a good looking addition, it gives you the opportunity to add overhead lighting and adds room for electronics above. We got lucky on [...]]]></description>

The best way to accomplish this is with Awlgrip or Alexseal marine paints &#8211; which is the marine industry standard for refinishing work.

		<description><![CDATA[We often get commissioned to revive a teak deck &#8211; usually when it is past the stage of simple maintenance. There are many tell-tales signs of this stage &#8211; rubber that has risen above the seams, rubber that has separated in the seams, plugs that are falling out and 3-d wood grain. The different signs [...]]]></description>

One way to avoid all of these problems is to install a Cablemaster system made by Glendinning Products. The Cablemaster is an automatic cord retraction system. When [...]]]></description>
