    this is something you definitely have to consider. most brands will have a recommended joists spacing and most of the time its not the usual 450 centres that you'd use with wood.

    I've had the wide Modwood around the pool for many years and I'm very happy with it. Almost zero maintenance in a fully exposed position.

    After some testing, I didn't really like the way the screw "fought" the board, so I decided to predrill (with countersink) the board and about 1cm into the joist, then re-drill only the board slightly larger than the screw shaft to allow for some extra movement at all joists. These boards expand and contract in all directions and I thought best to allow for that wherever possible. Took longer but it has stood the test of time
