The typical deck is warranted to last 20-25 years but the timber of a deck substructure rots and splits at around 8-10 years. For a few extra pounds, you can protect your timber deck substructure from moisture by applying Trex Protect Joist and Bearer tape.
Trex Protect Joist and Bearer Tape is a self-adhesive, non-skid deck protection tape designed to shield joists and bearers from moisture that can lead to timber rot and decay and the loosening of the deck screws and fasteners.
Watch the video below to see how simple Trex Protect is to install.
Trex Protect tape is available in two widths (50mm x 20m for joists and 100mm x 20m for bearers) making it convenient to apply.
Measure the deck’s dimensions and easily calculate the materials needed.
