Gap between boards
4.8 mmSources disagree. NexGEN Decking datasheet says 5 (NexGEN Board Spacing bulletin: 5 mm side to side.). The published value comes from the higher-ranked source; safety facts take the conservative one.

Butt joints

How this was read

Guide: centre the end gap over the gap between double joists; four clips per butt joint. Guide also recommends 2x blocking at butt joints where temperature swings are large.

Facts are taken from the highest-ranked source (certificates and test reports, then install guides and datasheets, then warranties, then web pages); when sources disagree the specification says so, and safety facts take the conservative value. Every plan the designer draws from these figures is a concept plan, not for construction: the span tables behind its framing have been checked by a structural engineer, but a builder, building surveyor or certifier must check the plan before you build.
