Another top notch build from the Lonsdale Built team!

Our clients contacted us, looking to extend their outdoor living space off their tiled patio, making use of their limited space in their yard. Our subframe consisted of H4 LowDeck Posts and bearers with H3 treated pine joists, wrapped in joist protection tape and HomeAdvanced composite boards in colour Sandstone.

The whole deck was planned perfectly from the beginning, allowing full boards for the top deck and all facias including head folded external mitres on all corners.

How to: laying timber decking boards. For all you young whipper snappers that haven’t been shown the secret to dead straight decks. 👌

1. Prior to this, we started by playing with the gap measurement between our boards to ensure we are finishing with full boards (or close to) with our board layout as we had multiple points to go off on the house. Last thing we want to see was a small rip of a board at the door threshold of our deck.

2. We then laid every fifth board across the whole deck, ensuring all boards were dead straight with a 100mm offset on a string line. We ran a spider web of string lines to ensure all screws were in line, end to end of each joist.

3. Start laying down them boards! On all joins we did a slight 1 degree back cut to ensure tight butt joins.

4. Cut some wedges (along the grain, not against) and wedge the boards to give even gaps in each bay by eye.

5. Crank the music and get screwing!

Usually don’t post our smaller jobs but this one came up like an absolute treat, I had to share it.

These stairs were replaced for Grande Florida Beach Resort in Miami, GC. The stairs were being used for a main access to the pool area of the resort pool, so we had to ensure the steps would not just stand the rest of time, but be practical and safe for their clients.

We installed H4 LowDeck framing wherever possible on the stairs and covered it with joist protection tape and HomeAdvanced decking boards in colour Smoked Ash to ensure the safety and longevity of the stairs being in such a high traffic zone and having a large exposure to water. These board have one of the highest slip ratings of Composite boards with a P5 and R13 slip rating being the perfect choice for this occasion. All framing and stairs as always are worked out to full boards for the sleekest finish.

See you on the next one!
