This solid pine timber joist provides the essential structural framework required for any decking project. Measuring 2.4 metres in length, it serves as a reliable primary support beam for your surface boards. The wood undergoes a treatment process to resist rot and decay caused by moisture. It is an ideal choice for DIY enthusiasts or professional landscapers building sturdy, long-lasting timber frames. Consistent dimensions ensure a flat finish.
These joists are versatile enough for various UK outdoor settings, from residential back gardens to small commercial patios. You might use them to construct low-level walkways through a flower bed or create tiered seating areas for summer entertaining. Because the timber is treated, it can withstand the frequent rainfall and damp conditions typical of a British autumn. They work well for raised garden platforms where a stable subframe is necessary. Whether you are building a path or a small deck, these joists provide the required strength.
Begin by installing these joists onto a prepared subframe or a solid concrete base to ensure stability. You must space them according to your specific decking board thickness to prevent any future sagging. Use stainless steel or galvanised screws during assembly to avoid rust issues caused by ground moisture. Proper spacing is vital for long-term structural integrity. Ensure the frame is level before you begin fixing the top boards.
Each pine joist measures 2.4 metres in length, with a width of 45mm and a depth of 70mm. The timber is treated to withstand moisture and decay throughout its lifespan. This specific size is designed to act as a primary support beam for decking boards. These dimensions provide a consistent surface for your final finish. The product is available as a single option at £9.00 per unit.
Frequently asked questions
How should I space these joists for my decking?
Spacing depends entirely on the thickness of your chosen decking boards. You should check the manufacturer's recommendations for your specific boards to ensure the frame prevents any bending or sagging under weight.Will the wood rot if it stays wet?
No, because the pine has been treated to resist rot and decay caused by moisture. This makes it suitable for the damp British climate and frequent rainfall we experience throughout the year.What type of fixings should I use?
You should always use stainless steel or galvanised screws for this project. Standard steel screws will rust quickly when exposed to the elements, which can compromise the structural integrity of your timber frame.Can these be used for a raised platform?
Yes, these joists are suitable for constructing both low-level walkways and raised garden platforms. They provide a solid, reliable framing solution for various heights and different types of outdoor ground preparation.
