There are many different ways to create a decking substructure on a limited elevation roof or balcony terrace.

• Hardwood
• softwood
• HDPE
• Steel frame

How do you support the substructure, we all know it isn’t a good idea to lay this directly onto a flat substrate – so what do you do?

• Rubber joist shoes
• Pedestals
• HDPE supports
• Joist pads (like large polo mints about 6mm x 125mm)

The reason I ask is that many Architects, designers and clients all have “Their” way of doing things, not always correctly.
