CODE COMPLIANCE
Joist Spanning for Decking
Trex
decking meets all applicable national model
building codes. The joists must be spaced on center
according to the chart below. Be sure that joists are
level and plumb. Trex decking must span at least three
joists. For heavy items such as hot tubs, planters,
etc., consult a local building engineer or inspector
for span recommendations. If you want to minimize
the appearance of joists through the spaces between
boards, paint the top of your joists black.
