Wooden Decking Installation: Detailed guide for creating outdoor wooden floors

Preparation of the substrate:

A solid and level base is essential: Wooden decking must be installed on a stable and level surface to ensure its durability and performance. Several options are suitable:

• Concrete: A concrete base offers maximum strength and stability, ideal for high-traffic areas.
• Gravel: A well-compacted gravel substrate drains well and is perfect for humid areas or rainy climates.
• Grass: If you want a more natural look, you can install decking directly onto a well-mown and compacted lawn. Make sure drainage is adequate to avoid water stagnation.
• Adjustment for elevation: If the floor is elevated, use adjustable plastic or metal supports to create a flat, stable base for the joists.

Pose:

• Load-bearing structure: The joists act as the skeleton of the floor, supporting the weight of the slats and ensuring the stability of the covering.
• Spacing: Position the joists at an even distance of approximately 40-60 cm from each other. Walk over the surface with a tight rope to ensure that the installation is perfectly parallel.
• Fixing: Anchor the joists firmly to the subfloor using plugs or screws suited to the type of base chosen (concrete) or simply resting them (gravel or grass).

Fixing method:

• Decking planks: Fix the slats directly to the joists with visible screws, pre-drilling the slats to avoid splitting. This mode exposes the screw heads on the floor surface. Fix the planks on the edges as suggested in the photo below to avoid unwanted but natural movements of the wood.
• Expansion: Leave a small expansion space (about 5-6 mm) between the slats and between the slats and the wall to avoid deformations caused by variations in temperature and humidity. Use spacer wedges to maintain correct spacing during installation.

Floor finishing:

• Cutting to size: Once all the slats have been laid, use a circular saw or jigsaw to cut the excess along the edges and near the walls, following the line of the wall.
• Aesthetic finishes: For a more finished look, you can add frames, boards or closing edges to cover the gaps between the planks and the wall, giving a more refined appearance to the floor.

Additional tips:

• Pre-drill the strips: For whatever fixing method you choose, it is recommended to pre-drill the strips before screwing in the screws to avoid splitting the wood.
• Choose appropriate screws: Use stainless steel or galvanized half-thread screws to resist weathering and prevent corrosion.
• Treatment of wood: To ensure greater durability over time, protect the decking with an outdoor wood varnish suitable for walking. It is important to impregnate the plank on all four sides to avoid deformations caused by humidity on the untreated sides. Before applying the primer it is advisable to sand, we recommend using a fine-grained abrasive sponge.
• Regular maintenance: Periodically inspect the floor and clean it with specific products to keep the wood in good condition and prolong its useful life.

By carefully following these instructions, you will be able to install your wood decking successfully, creating a beautiful, functional and long-lasting outdoor space.
