Decking assembly instructions
1 Fixing the joists
Joists spacing
Install the aluminium joists in a smooth surface, respecting the distances as shown in the drawing
15 mm between the strips end; 10 mm from the wall.
Measurements must be respected for the warranty validity.
Perpendicular slat spacing: strip spacing between 300 and 350 mm
Inclined slat spacing (45°): strip spacing Maximum 250 mm
Measurements must be respected for the warranty validity.
Decking incline
1 to 2% incline.
Thermal expansion
Attention: leave 20 mm of space for thermal expansion along the length of the slats

2 Clips and Slats
After having fixed the joists, use code AF602 clips to fix the first slat, then continue the installation using the code AF601 clip.
