Joist Spans for #2-Grade Dimensional Lumber Now, you need to use a pencil or white chalk to mark the face of the ledger board where your joists will be —exactly 16″ from center to center. If using a tape measure, be sure you securely place the tip of it against the outside of the ledger, so you get an accurate measurement. are required are given in 4.8m lengths so there is as little joins as possible. All screws are supplies. A scrap piece of lumber:Cut a piece of wood from your pressure-treated joist lumber to use as a guide when placing your joist hangers. Make sure the scrap wood is in the same dimensions as your joists.

These are fixed to joists using 100mm landscape screws. If possible, fix the newels so that two faces can be secured through two joists at 90' to each other. 8. Fitting Steps A bubble level:If you’re working alone, a bubble level will help you measure straight lines when installing joist hangers.NZS 3604 also outlines many other requirements on joists such as fastenings, please refer to this document for more information. C16 Timber: C16 is the most commonly used form of timber. It can be used in many different applications and is the most cost effective option. C16 timbers are kiln dried to minimise the amount of moisture in the wood. This grade of timber which is commonly used in internal construction such as floors, walls and roof joists is not only cost effective, it has the strength and other properties such as bending, compression and density which are required for construction. As strong, versatile and cost effective this grade of timber might be, it does have some defects, such as grain deviations which may affect the strength of the timber as well as some cosmetic defects such as sap stains and sometimes and an uneven surface.

I agree with the 400 centers, but how would you solve my problem? Do you think stepping it is the way to go, sort of the same way you would lay laminate flooring in the house. My drawing are nearly done so these maybe make it easy to see what i have. Now that all joists are attached to their hangers, they should be self-supporting with the help of your support beams. To close the frame, you will install one final rim joist along the open-ended edge of the joists: C24 Timber: C24 timber is the superior cousin of C16. This grade is also kiln dried and used in construction products and is especially suited for outdoor uses. It is more superior in terms of its properties such as strength, resilience and appearance with very few defects if any. C24 timber costs slightly more than C16.Once each hanger is installed evenly and nailed into place, you can begin attaching your joist boards: A pencil or piece of white chalk:You need a lumber pencil or piece of white chalk to mark your joint spacing on your ledger board before installation. A circular saw:Use a circular saw to cut lumber to meet your project dimensions, according to the recommend joist length and width. Different types of wood, even within species, have different physical characteristics and strengths. Growing conditions also contribute to the variations making timber from one area more desirable for different projects. Beam Configuration – Ledger to Beam, Free Standing (joists resting on beam), or Joist Hangers (joists attached to beam sides with hangers)

Ecodek is a trading name of Specialist Building Products Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Epwin Group. Erecting and spacing beams to allow shorter spans means less expensive and more readily available timbers may be used. It is better to go shorter than to try and maximize span bridging for a more solid and secure platform. Joist size determines span and spacing, so select the grade and type of wood best suited for your needs and budget. Cedar has a natural wood preservative that protects from rot and insects. However, cedar will gray with age and requires cleaning and sealing or staining regularly. It provides a warm wood glow that many appreciate. It too comes in 2-by and 5/4 dimensions. Along the foundation wall (by the ledger), this needs to be continuous over 1.8m metres (NZS 7.1.4.2) Now if i do 60cm centers everything will work out great, but is this to wide? I will be putting in Noggins every 60cm from the same joist material
