What would happen if I covered my deck in pavers?
What could go wrong?


The concrete pavers are slightly porous and will wick water every time it rains. This will keep water against the wood deck boards for much longer than normal and will shorten the life of the wood. So, less sealing but shorter deck life.

I would find a good oil based sealer like tung or timber oil that will last for more than one season. (I used to use Thompson's but it doesn't last for more than one year.)

Good luck!
