Painted deck -- what to do?

Hello,

I bought a house with a large deck. The deck is painted (yes, painted, not stained) with a red barn paint. The paint is in awful condition, it flakes and exposes wood in many places. There is some rotten wood as well.

What can I do with this deck? Should I try to remove the paint altogether and stain it? If yes, how do I remove all paint? Should I sand the paint and apply new layer of red barn paint? I prefer the look of the natural wood.

Thanks,
R. C. H.
