How to Install
Method 1: Screws Visible
- Pre-drill holes (1/4" diameter) into each plank
- Optional-counter sink all holes (1/2" diameter)
Method 2: Screws Invisible
- Per-drill holes (1/4" diameter) into each plank
- Counter sink all holes (1/2" diameter) at a depth of 3/8"
- Apply screw caps (available as accessories)(flat screw caps are ½" diameter)
Method 3: Brackets
- Pre-drill holes (1/8" diameter) into each plank at a depth of ¾"
- Fit planks with galvanized metal angles. Working from under secure planks to joists.
TOOLS
- Enviro Curb Lumber can be cut, drilled, mitered and sanded with conventional wood working tools. Carbide tipped saw blades are required. Carbide tipped router bits can be used for smoother edge.
FASTENER
- Stainless steel screws are required. Install 2 per end of board and alternate in the middle.
- Pre-drilling is required on all decking boards. Pre-drill with a hole overboard to the next crew size (1/4" drill bit for #10 screws)
- All fasteners should be placed no closer than ¾" from any edge
- The uses of adhesives is not recommended
DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
- Enviro Curb Lumber will expand and contract approx. ¼" per 8 board feet over a wide range in temperature. Design consideration should allow for this movement.
- When framing, the end of each Enviro Curb Lumber decking board must be on a full joist.
- Before installing Enviro Curb Lumber on your wood frame, make sure the frame is fully dried, leveled and squared.
- If you need to notch an Enviro Curb Lumber deck board around a post you must only use "L" notch. The board can not be longer than 4 feet an you must have at least a ¼" gap at the post.
SPANS
The maximum decking span is 12" on centre for 1" thick boards and 16" on centre for 5/4 boards at 90 degrees of the joist. For conventional designs with proper support systems, consult Enviro Curb Lumber span chart for specific guidance.
Abnormal boarding on the deck surface with large planter, hot tubs, etc. may require shorter span and /or additional sub structure supports.
If installing on a 30 or 45 degree angle, call your distributor for design considerations.
