Can I use galvanised frames or brackets?
TRADA recommend that stainless steel should always be used for fixing the deck boards, if unsightly staining is to be avoided. However, hot dip galvanized fixings and brackets may be adequate for the substructure.
Further information can be found in our Timber Decking Manual, 2nd Edition, a comprehensive guide to the design and specification of timber decking. We also provides a range of services for building designers and product manufacturers to assist with timber cladding queries, as well as training and cpd.
