Our Decking's maximum span is 24 inches (however 16" is recommended). Joist spans should be 16 inches on center for residential applications. On long deck surfaces where plank ends are butted, double joists with 3-inch wide Snap Locks are used. Complete engineering specifications are available.

Vinyl Decking is a Hi-Polymer material manufactured from a special high-impact, weather-resistant polyvinyl chloride compound. It is specially formulated for outdoor exposure where color and physical properties are important.

No. Our vinyl decking provides an excellent walking surface for shoes or bare feet. The grooved design pattern provides quick water drainage and excellent traction. Both products exceed UL standards for skid resistance.

To keep Vinyl Decking looking like new, wash with a garden hose. If certain spills are allowed to dry (coffee, fruit juice, kerosene), it may be necessary to use a non-abrasive household cleaner to remove residue, then rinse with a hose.

Stainless steel screws are used to secure the attachments to wood, steel, or aluminum stringers.

Nascor has published a series of detailed floor span tables that take into account joist type, on centre spacing, glue vs. no glue and other factors. Download the Nascor Specifier Guide, where you will find the span tables on page 3.

Vinyl Decking is a maintenance-free material that is durable, defies weathering, and never needs sealing, or painting. The nonporous surface cleans easily and resists stains. It stays cooler than composites, plastics, wood, or concrete deck and patio products in the summer sun and is weather resistant all year long. Vinyl decking is an ideal solution for the enhancement of residential, commercial and marine properties.

Our sheds normally come with a 5/8th inch pine siding, but if you plan on putting on vinyl or some other type of siding, we can put on OSB siding. OSB (chip board) is a little cheaper and better for vinyl siding. Just let us know when ordering that you plan on putting up your own siding.

Yes you can, but keep the tubing away from the fixture and insulate the tubing in proximity of the fixture and follow manufacturers instructions.

A JJI-Joist is a structurally engineered timber joist, combining high-grade softwood flanges with an engineered composite panel web. For more information please see our Product Range.

open-web floor truss assembled through a unique process of finger joinery and waterproof structural adhesive instead of metal plates.

The base ingredient is rigid PVC (polyvinyl chloride), modified to provide superior strength and ultraviolet (UV) resistance. The formulation is similar to vinyl siding, which has a nearly 30 year history of durability and structural integrity.

Yes! You can change the type of any proposed exterior finish. Those that are featured on the homes in our magazine and on our website are suggestions only. Many of Home Planner's customization service's customers choose to do so, whether for economical reasons or simply for personal preference.

All Carpeted BedSlides (Standard, RL or XL) use a 3/4"" CDX plywood overlaid with an indoor/outdoor synthetic carpet. On the WEATHERDECK and Contractor Grades we use a 3/4" Marine-grade 7-ply plywood that has a vapor-barrier lamination both top and bottom and then overlaid with a 1/4" rubber mat.

Rainbow Play Systems starts with a 1/4" steel pipe for all their ladder rungs. These rungs are then either vinyl-dipped or powder coated. The vinyl-dipped rung has a layer of insulation in the form of a commercial grade liquid vinyl and provides a non-slip surface. The powder-coated rung is covered in a special type of powdered paint that is baked into place, not offering any kind of non-slip surface and with time and weather may chip off.

We recommend a high tack application tape for all of our vinyls. The relationship between the release liner and the vinyl is different for every vinyl manufacturer. Oracal's vinyl has a tight liner adhesion. The tight liner adhesion improves the weedability of the vinyl. However, some customers report that other tack levels from different types of tapes work well for them. If what you're using works for you, continue to use it.
