Decking Weather Strip Installation from DeckMaster

For decks with timber joists:

Install the Weather Strip rubber joist flashing to the top side of your timber joist. The Weather Strip suits joists up to 50mm in width. Start to fix the Weather Strip at the same end of the joist where you are going to start fastening your decking.

Be SURE to place the Weather Strip with the wider flat rubber section to the left side of all the joists when facing your starting point as shown in diagrams below.

On the far left hand side joist (Facing Starting Point) move the Weather Strip to the right so the Left Side Flap is Flush with the side of the Joist.

On all other joists fasten the Weather Strip with the Fold on the Left Hand Flap directly above the edge of the Left Hand Side of the Joist.

Fix the Weather Strip to the joist by using ether corrosion class 3 staples or small brads through the thickest part of the Weather Strip.

For decks with steel joists:

Position the Weather Strip as described above for Timber Joist Installation.

Fix the Weather Strip to the joist by using a suitable spray on glue. Trim-Tex 847 works very well and is available from Boral Plasterboard outlets.
