Instructional Materials
- Preparing for StoneDeks System Stone Deck Installation – Remove all horizontal flooring (5/4 treated lumber, composite lumber, etc) from your existing deck. RECOMMENDATION: Framing and footing should be inspected by a qualified building official to make sure they are in line with all state and local codes.
- If you have sufficient threshold height, you may screw the Silca Grate™ on top of your floor joists. Be sure to consider the stack height and desired floor finish height. (See illustration two on this page.)
- If you do NOT have ample threshold height, you must add a 2×4 cleat on each side of the floor joist. NOTE: Maintain the correct height while fastening on the joist.
- Trim 1 1/2″ off the Silca Grate™ . Inlay Silca Grate™ on top of 2×4 cleat. NOTE: Deck construction must be in compliance with your state and local codes. Refer to table 2 at the end of the page. NOTE: Silca Grate™ has two sets of screw holes on one side of the Silca Grate™ . Trim the side with two holes.
- Install Geo-textile / landscape blanket. The same is true for step 4 of the New Deck Construction Guide.
- Treated Lumber Border. The same as step 5 on the New Deck Construction Guide, but do NOT include the height of the Silca Grate™.
- Congratulations on finishing your new remodeled deck, complete with StoneDeks System-supported outdoor paver flooring! To finish, you may cover the exterior fascia edging with aluminum, vinyl, cedar, composite, or treated lumber.
