Did You Know Decks Need to Breathe? Really.

Improper ventilation is one of the primary causes of decking related problems. If your deck design does not allow for adequate cross ventilation underneath the deck, cupping and surface checking can become headaches in the future.

We recommend a minimum of 18" of open air under joists along with open sides for proper cross ventilation. If the fascia/skirting around your deck does restrict airflow, here's a tip:

Install soffit vents around the perimeter of your deck to increase increase cross ventilation. Once installed, the soffit vents will ensure you enjoy your deck for as long as you own your home.
