| Ledger Cap |
The largest formation of water, ice and snow can be found against the house. |
|
-
Protects the entire joist hanger
system and it's fasteners, while
eliminating excessive moisture due
to debris collecting between the
house and the ledger board.
"Wood lasts almost forever if it's kept dry,
and that's the premise behind a patented
system of deck building accessories by
ROT-NOT Deck Protection System. It's
as simple as it is effective."

Ledger Cap |
|
- The extended arm provides a
shoulder, that once caulked, stops the
water from reaching and settling against
the house and gathering at the main deck
anchors
-
Increased volume of moisture at this
location results in additional
oxygen that has been proven to
accelerate the deterioration of the
fasteners and contribute to wood
rot.
"Changes in the preservative-treated wood
industry since the beginning of 2004 have
created concerns."
SOLPAN REVIEW, the independent journal of
energy conservation, building science &
construction practice July 2005
"We now recommend Rot-Not joist cap to every
customer. It's a small price to pay
for rot protection."

Single Joist Cap

Single Joist Cap

Protects the most vulnerable locations of
your new deck or re-decking construction
-
The patented design ensures that the main
joist system remains protected against
moisture and foliage, which collects at the
deck spacing causing rot
-
Protects against water wicking where
wood-to-wood contact is made
-
While shedding water that may form on the
joist cause by rain or snow, it's patented
design provides a channel allowing wood to
breathe
-
As fasteners (nails or screws) go through
the planking they penetrate through the
joist cap. The memory of the PVC, and
the friction of the fasteners, heat seals
the plastic
-
The entire DECK PROTECTION SYSTEM is
designed to eliminate water penetration
therefore increasing the life expectancy and
overall performance of your new deck
project.

Double Joist Cap
|
Double Joist Cap
|
|
- Protects the main beam and underside of
your joist layout
- Eliminates moisture penetration between
the main beam, which has been found to
accelerate the deterioration of the
fasteners
Reminder: If you're overlapping your
joists, be sure to order additional footage |

Post Protector Saddle
|
(Used for 4"x4" construction)
Post Protector Saddle
|
|
- Provides excellent protection at the
bearing point of the post and underside of
the beam
- Provides a saddle for your beam, making
installation struggle free
- the beam sits on top of the pier in a
compression condition, which is stronger
than hanging the beam on the pier
(suspension condition). This is
especially important due to the newly
created corrosion issues associated with ACQ
lumber
