Span
3/4” net thickness deck boards will span 16” on centre. 1” net thickness deck boards will span 24” on centre.

Spacing & Shrinkage
Allow a 3/16” gap on 6” wide decking and a 1/8” gap on 4” wide decking between the deck boards for drainage, air flow and expansion. Kiln dried decking may expand 1/8” on 6” wide boards during times of high moisture. Expect some shrinkage in width in hot or dry areas.

Cutting and Drilling
Due to the density of Garapa, premium carbide tipped saw blades and high quality drills are recommended for smooth cuts.

End Sealer
If during installation, you need to end cut any boards, it is recommended that you end seal the fresh cut with “Anchorseal” to prevent end checking. One quart will cover 500 square feet of decking. Please visit www.uccoatings.com for product information and a dealer in your area.
