Installation Instructions

LAYOUT

When installing deck stones, ﬁrst spend time considering layout possibilities. The

size of each deck stone is approximately 16” square, and 1 1/8” thick with the joist

connector. Each deck stone is made from natural materials therefore and sizes may

vary slightly. Consider this when planning your layout. Allow 1/8” transition space

between the deck stone and any other decking material for expansion and contraction.

We recommend adding an additional joist connector where the different materials

meet. Make sure the deck is framed 16" on-center. Staggered solid blocking between

joists is necessary to ensure square and even joists. Staggered blocking should be

installed at 4-foot spacing intervals. Check to ensure deck frame is square; plane

down any crowns and shim where joist sags are unavoidable. Typically, one would

place the ﬁrst row of deck stones down on the outside edge and work back toward

the house. This will ensure a full tile at the outside edge and eliminate a cut. There

are, however, many deck conﬁgurations that may result in starting in the middle or

at the house.

STRING LINE

It is important to run string lines in both directions of the deck to ensure a straight

line and proper deck stone placement. The joist connector has built-in spacing tabs

that are designed to give the minimum spacing required. Additional spacing may be

necessary to achieve proper 16" on-center spacing.

STARTING

Familiarize yourself with the joist connector and the deck stone panel, and how they

ﬁt together. The ribs on the bottom of the deck stone panel must run from joist to

joist. There are three different functions available with the joist connector by making

ﬁeld cuts. You will need to have a cutoff saw to accomplish the cuts necessary in

the next procedure. Starting in the center of the outside edge of the deck, take part

“B” (Figure #1) and place on the joist. Screw part “B” down to the joist. *NOTE* If

joist spacing is inconsistent and offset too far, it will need to have a 2x4 sister joist

installed underneath it to provide the proper support (Figure #2).
