5mm Decking Spacers 4 Pack

Product Information

It is designed to help prevent moisture from becoming trapped between timber components by increasing air circulation.

With dry decking, you should keep a little more spacing in between than with wet decking, this is because the wood will warp again over time. After installing (screwing) the decking boards, the distance meter prevents decking from expanding, which gives the good deck stability.

While a 4mm gap between boards is recommended, there are always times when you need to juggle dimensions to fit a space, and with this tool every gap-width required will be professionally consistent, however large your installation. We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. Freely movable spacers are placed between the already screwed and the still to be screwed terrace boards when assembling the wooden terrace. We strengthen local people and businesses that practice responsible forest use and thus oppose the displacement of the forest by agriculture.

To use: pre-drill a 6mm pilot hole, use a drill or impact driver fitted with T30 bit to drive the screw in. It also allows some flexibility which will reduce the risk of screws shearing as deck boards shrink and swell throughout the seasons. Unfortunately we aren’t able to send parcels to these addresses at present but we are working on it.Determining the correct distance between your decking boards depends on what type of wood your decking board is. In addition, they extend the durability of a wooden terrace due to improved structural wood protection through optimal ventilation of the planks. The disadvantage of these terrace joint holders is that the requirement per square meter is significantly higher than with freely movable models. Gone are the days of wedging a screwdriver between the boards and holding them in place with your knee. Place the second plank in the desired location and place the spacer of the correct thickness between the planks.
