Framing
First, determine the decking span, that is , how far apart your joists will be.
The frame needs to be completely level before installing any boards.
Note: Adequate spacing in the joists is required to keep the deck boards from bending. Please
review the chart on page 9 of this installation guide to see what spacing is required for your
