Advice for preparing the ground
Ensuring water drainage:
On all non-draining ground, you must ensure a slope of at least 10 mm per linear metre, parallel with the joists’ length, for water to run off, while also making sure water does not collect at the lowest point of the decking.

Selecting joists
To allow for proper ventilation, boards must never be installed directly on the ground, but on Silvadec® wood composite or aluminium

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.
