• DrySpace is designed for decks with 12 in. and 16 in. on center joist spacing. A 2 in. x 6 in. filler board can be installed to accommodate joist spacing up to 14 in. for the 12 in. on-center and 18 in. for the 16 in. on-center. The open space between on-center joists should not be more than 11 in. for the 12 in. on-center, and no more than 15 in. for the 16 in. on-center. For decks with joist spacing greater than 14 in. on-center, the DrySpace kit for 16 in. on-center joists should be used, and for decks with joist spacing greater than 18 in. on-center.
• Installation of DrySpace must stop a minimum of 3 in. before the Fascia. This allows water to exit the DrySpace panel and provide for ventilation. Recommended installation of gutters to guide water away.
• Never install DrySpace over a beam.
• DrySpace should not be spliced to achieve longer runs. Lapping the system could result in leakage.
• DrySpace should not be enclosed with a wall around the outside perimeter of the deck. It is not intended to be a water proof roof system.
• DrySpace must be installed so that water runs away from the house. Recomended to use hot-dipped galvanized nails or stainless steel screws for installation.
• Appliances, such as dryers and exhaust fans, should not be vented into the space between the deck surface and DrySpace panels.
• Installation is easiest with two people.
• Installation requires a slope to drain water away from structure or house.
