Installing Joists On Pedestals

Measure and cut joists where required.

1. Lay the joists through each pedestal joist cradle. Ensure your joists sit level with the assistance of a spirit level.

2. Allow a 20mm expansion gap between joist butt joins and use a 300mm cross member for support. Fix by screwing the joists and cross member together.

3. Fix the joists to the pedestals by screwing through the joist cradle.

4. Double joist where deck boards meet at butt joins allowing 3mm between joists.
