A deck’s joists are the horizontal framing members that support the decking material. Deck joists may terminate at a beam or ledger, rest on top of the beams, or terminate at the rim board. Our training manager Sam Marcoux reviews the basic steps for making strong, safe joist connections. We will highlight the available options to help you select what’s best for your project.
Whether you’re a professional contractor working on a deck project or a homeowner dreaming about your new deck, we’re here to help. Our educational Build a Stronger Deck video series guides you through the most important components of building a safer, stronger deck. Watch the series at
