Installation Guide

Strapping (Mid-Span Blocking)

Ground Level Decks

Elevated Decks

NOTE: The larger diameter holes in the strap are to allow water to escape when it's installed on the underside

of the joist.

For Joist Spans greater than 8’, blocking is required midspan at every bay.

There are two dierent installaon opons for the 12" O.C. and 16" O.C. straps; one for ground level decks and

one for elevated decks.

Using Evoluon 12” or 16" O.C. Straps, Place on

the TOPSIDE of the joist. The strap is 4’ long and

will cover (4) Joist for the 12” O.C. version and

(3) Joist on the 16” O.C. version.

This method should only be used when the deck

is ground-level and not accessible from the

boom side.

No fasteners are required when installing Strap

on the top-side

Using Evoluon 12” or 16" O.C. Straps, place on

the UNDERSIDE of the joist. The strap is 4’ long

and will cover (4) Joist for the 12” O.C. version

and (3) Joist on the 16” O.C. version.

This is the preferred method for installaon and

should be used anyme there's access to the

boom of the deck.
