I have several 4x4 deck railing posts wrapped in composite sleeves. Some of the sleeves are rotting or deteriorating and I’m looking for solutions. I have considered replacing them but the colors of any new sleeve will not match the existing deck and they will be difficult to install. I am thinking that pulling off the rotted sleeves and trying to stain the posts with a color matched stain might be the best option. Has anyone had experience with this and what did you do?
