My decking boards were green when installed and shrank about 8mm across the width, over the first summer. All the expansion/contraction of timber is across the grain generally not along the grain and anyone with a deck will have witnessed the obvious difference in board gaps between the middle of winter and height of summer (around 3-4mm for softwood at the extremes on large boards).My mate is so concerned that he is considering taking up the ones that he has screwed down and re-spacing them at 3mm.

Each of our spacers has both 5mm and 10mm within its design and when used during the installation process, you can be certain that your finished composite desk will present a stylish and professional aesthetic. Place a spirit level on top of the joist and then rotate each green nut to raise or lower the joist to set the perfect level.

Our high-quality composite decking screws have been designed to match the job in hand, whether screwing into metal, composite or timber substructure.If the boards are absolutely dry though when laid then this gap will be too small and the boards will warp during the winter months when they expand due to moisture retention and I would lay with 4mm drills as spacers in this case. Decking is a great way to transform an outdoor living area and provides the perfect space for entertaining family and friends.
