So I built a 16' X 35' deck with full roof over it and 4' pony walls around it. It is about 6' above the ground and my contractor used the 3/4" OSB as sub floor. This area will see some potential moisture from blowing rain, my main concern is that the floor is pretty rough, (swollen joints) probably because it got wet waiting for the roofers to finish. So I was wondering if I sand down some of the rough/high spots, is there a coating I can pigment and just poor on and spread out that will work? I think there are places where it might need to be about 1/8" thick. Any advice will be appreciated. I live in north Idaho so that might be a consideration. I have weather proof curtains that snap on the sides to close it in and there is a natural gas fire pit to keep it warm. fyi
