What happens here

To protect the deck joists from moisture and enhance longevity, apply joist tape to the top surface of each joist. This black, adhesive tape acts as a barrier, preventing water penetration and extending the lifespan of the wood. The video highlights using this tape on 'ProWood True Frame Joist' products as a recommended practice.

Goal: Protect joists from moisture to increase deck longevity.
