Will This Change The Way We Build? THE GLASS HOUSE EP 2
What happens here
Install blocking between joists in two main areas: at mid-span for joists longer than 8 feet, and over the main support beams where joists are spliced. Mid-span blocking increases the rigidity of the deck and prevents joists from twisting, creating a more solid and level walking surface. Blocking at splices provides critical structural support and helps maintain alignment. Secure all blocking with appropriate fasteners.
Goal: Enhance deck rigidity, prevent joist twisting, and provide structural support at splices.
