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). I intend to lay them all across the joists to dry out as I will not be working on it again for the next week or so. Going lengthwise anywhere between boards is actually a snap thanks to the spacer's distinctive handle.The special blade design of DeckWise ® WiseGuides ® decking spacers prevent damage to boards that are pressed together during installation. 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. 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. It also allows some flexibility which will reduce the risk of screws shearing as deck boards shrink and swell throughout the seasons. Please note that while this calculator shows the decking required, Southgate Timber advises that 10% be added to the total to cover wastage.
