    Default new deck

    Great info on this thread. I'm replacing decking boards on a 60sq m and will have to replace most of (make that all) the joists. After reading all the info from utemad and others I will definitely screw it down. I was going to use hardwood joists but would it be better and easier to use treated pine to avoid screw breaks. How far below the surface should the screws be set ? I'm using 86x19 tallowwood on a very exposed site. Has anyone used the 90x70 laminated treated pine for joists? also whats the best gun to buy?

    Hi Brookwa

    I have beeen missing in action for a while.. Haven't checked forum form a month or more.... 90x70 lam pine for joists??? Why 140 x 45 pine will go further for less unless you have a height isssue... Even still you can cut them over the bearers 40mm if your trying to get hardwood size (4x2)
    Don't use hardwood its so much easier to screx to t.pine and standard sawn 4x2 and 4x3 isn't real crash hot for radius winds and twists...Also sizes differ up to 10mm which means packing or checking all joists


    Which Gun????? For what job ..... If you mean to fix the boards down then its a Duofast coil gun with adjustable depth head .... I own one but would not want to use it for this unless you are that chewed down on costing of the job... The boards will eventually split around the nails and nails will come up... Duofast (paslode) offers no support on their nails for any application so its all on you....

    Depth set screws flush to 1mm below the surface any lower and they just trap water and dirt...

    If you need further info PM but include email address

    cheers Utemad

    Thanks for that Utemad. Reason for asking about 90x70 is that there is a height problem and some of the bearer spacings are a bit overlong. Thought maybe 90x70 would be a compromise but will take on board your "cut in 40mm over bearers" . Sorry about wrong terminology re "gun" I meant impact driver. I've got a couple of 14v Makitas -clutched but not impact . Would they be up to it? Whats the best way of setting the depth on the drill/countersink.
    Many thanks--appreciate your assistance

    Firstly appologies for hijacking a thread....
    I understand that SS screws are the optimal choice for fastening hardwood decking....
    but other options....
    gal?
    zinc?

    Are these viable options (obviously not as asthetically pleasing, but pleasing to a hip pocket, when working to a tight budget..)

    I'm looking to use Type 17 10g 50mm for 90x19 merbau into T/P 90x45 joists.

    Hot-dipped gal is viable. Pre-drill the merbau, of course.
