🚫 The Promise: “No Prep. Just Coat & Go.”

Cabot’s EasyDeck™ is marketed as a quick-fix solution for tired-looking timber decks. No sanding, no cleaning, no hassle — just pop on the applicator, squeeze the product through, and roll your way to a freshly “rejuvenated” deck in under 40 minutes.

Sounds great on paper. But as deck restoration professionals, we decided to dig into the real-world reviews, test the system ourselves, and share what the results actually look like.

⚠️ What Is Cabot’s EasyDeck?

• A DIY “clean & coat” system designed for lightly weathered decks

• Comes with a deck applicator tool and maintenance oil

• Promises fast drying and no prep work

• Claims it’s suitable for decks that are “in good condition”

But here’s what we found…

💬 Real Reviews Tell a Different Story

Across user forums, Bunnings reviews, and customer reports, we found recurring problems:

❌ 1. “No Prep” Is a Gimmick

Users consistently reported that applying the product without cleaning resulted in poor finish, streaking, and visible grime being sealed under the coating.

“It just sealed in the dirt. Looked worse than before.”

❌ 2. Applicator System Is Frustrating

While designed to make application easy, the squeeze-to-dispense applicator:

• Clogs regularly

• Is hard to control on grooves and stairs

• Struggles around posts or railings

“The applicator is awkward and messy. I spent more time wiping drips than actually oiling.”

❌ 3. The “Finish” Doesn’t Last

Even for decks in reasonable condition, the product fades quickly — sometimes within a few months — especially under strong Australian sun.

“Looked okay at first. By summer it was patchy and worn again.”

🔍 What You’re Really Paying For

🛠 Our Professional Verdict

Cabot’s EasyDeck may seem like a great shortcut — but shortcuts don’t work when it comes to timber.

If your deck’s seen even modest wear, has greyed timber, or has missed regular maintenance, this product will not restore it. In fact, it can make things worse — by sealing in dirt and creating a patchy finish that still needs to be redone properly later.

✅ What to Do Instead

At Deck Rejuvenation, we’ve restored hundreds of decks across Melbourne and Victoria — from DIY disasters to weathered timber left uncoated for years.

Our proven process includes:

• Proper cleaning (not just a rinse)

• Sanding where needed

• Application of professional-grade oils that last

• Set in place a rolling ongoing maintenance programs to keep your deck looking fresh all year
