TheinstallaonofI-Seriesboardsiscomparabletothatof
othercompositeordeckingboards.
I-SeriesprolesARE NOT intended for use as structural
members�
Thesurfaceoverhangofthedeckmustbelimitedtoa
maximumof1-1/4”[32mm]andtakeintoconsideraon
the thickness of the Fascia or trim�

in the long term could
harm your deck�
AProperlyvenlateddeck
allowsairtomove&will
assist with clearing excess
moisture in the air
A1-1/2”[38mm]gapbeneaththedeck
isrequiredforaddionalvenlaon.
