A squeaky, bouncy or uneven decking can be very annoying, and irritating, not only that it can actually cause a safety issue. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Don’t be tripped up by an uneven deck – use your noggin and incorporate strengthen timbers<\/a> when purchasing your decking boards<\/a> or decking kit<\/a>, available from \u00a39.99 it’s a relatively small amount to pay and will offer piece of mind that your new decking is the strongest it can possibly be.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Reinforce your decking framework<\/strong>. Ideally at point of installation, although it’s easy enough to upgrade an existing deck.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Installing strengthening timbers<\/a><\/strong> will eliminate that annoying squeak and you will be left with a sturdy, level deck that will look great and stand the test of time with no annoying sounds or bouncing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

What are strengthening braces?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Also know as Noggins’, these short pieces of timber sit horizontally in-between the rafters, the amount you will need depends on the size of the decking<\/a>, for very small decks only a few will be needed, for larger areas space them 400mm apart and offset them slightly so it’s easier to screw them in from the back of the joist.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
