Storing and handling boards

How to store and handle our products Our boards and accessories must be stacked on a flat, dry surface, in a well-ventilated area, so as to prevent any deformation. We recommend breaking open the pallet to help with airflow.

Fascia board

Looking for the right final touches for your decking creation? Allow us to suggest the fascia board accessory. Before fitting fascia boards, the fixed deck boards must be trimmed to an even finish using a straight-edge and a circular saw.

Space between boards

How much space should be left between your deck boards? It is essential to leave a gap of at least 5 mm in width. This allows boards to expand with changes in temperature, and also enables water and melting snow/ice to drain away. This gap between boards must not be obstructed.

Butting the boards

Is your decking wider than your boards? You’re going to need to "butt" your boards Where boards are butted, make sure the ends are resting properly and stably on the joists, and cut the boards to length if necessary. We recommend staggering butted joints, for aesthetic reasons.
