2. TRANSPORTING FORTRESS INFINITY DECK BOARDS
2.1 Stacking
Thebestmethodofstackingisthepyramidmethodorbricklayersmethod.Byshiftingthelayersofboardshalfwayacrossaboard’s
length,thechancesoftheboardsslidingapartarelowerandthereforesafer.
Thoughthepyramidmethodissaferforstoragepurposes,itisnotalwaysthemostpractical.Ifitisnecessarytostackboards,be
surenottostackthemtoohigh.Makecertainthattheheightofthestackdoesnotexceedthewidthofthestack.
Whenstackingboardsfortransportation,pleasemakesurethattheboardsaresecure,andthatthereisanevendistributionofload.
2.2 On-site
EnsureInnityDeckinghasacclimatedtotheenvironmentbeforeinstalling.Itisimportanttounderstandthatwheninstallingin
colderweatherthatthecompositeboardswillexpandmorethanwheninstallinginhotterweatherandgappingshouldbeadjusted
accordingly.
Oncetheboardshavereachedthebuildingsite,ensurethattheyarestoredonlevelground.Itisrecommendedthattheboardsnotbe
storeddirectlyonthegroundandthattheboardsarecovered.
Iftheboardsneedtobestoredforlongperiods,packtheboardsontopofpallets.
