| 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
elegant. There's another reason to
consider moisture control in deck design and the
need is relatively new. It has to do with
the chemicals that are currently used to
preserve pressure-treated lumber. The most
common preservative substance in use today is
abbreviated as ACQ and replaces the
arsenic-bearing substance called CCA that was
used to preserve wood until a few years ago.
Although it's believed to be safer, ACQ is more
corrosive to metal nails, screws and support
brackets than CCA ever was. And as you'd
expect, this corrosive action is greatly
enhanced in the presence of moisture. The
problem is especially troublesome where deck
boards sit on floor joists, maing moisture
control in this area even more important. |

| Since our inception, we have
built about 6500 decks. I wish ROT-NOT
Deck Protection System had been available for
every one of them! We now recommend
ROT-NOT Deck Protection System to every
customer. It's a small price to pay for
rot protection. |

| Over the years, I have
demolished and rebuilt a number of decks, which
had deteriorated due to rotting of the deck
beams and undersides of the planks.
ROT-NOT Deck Protection System stops water
penetration and allows the deck to breathe...I
would highly recommend it's use to anyone
contemplating new deck or dock construction. |

| We have spent hours and hours
trying to preserve the lifespan and investment
of several decks at our cottage. Each year
we maintain the decks with countless hours of
washing and sealing the exposed areas of the
frame structure and planking to protect against
moisture penetration and rot. ROT-NOT Deck
Protection System has no erased our concerns,
and will undoubtedly double the life expectancy
of our decks with zero maintenance on our part. |

| The ease of installation and the
minimal costs to protect both my hard labour and
investment is as your brochure states...A NO
BRAINER. I found the ROT-NOT Deck
Protection System as simple as a solution as
there could be, to providing better protection
to both the fasteners and structure of our deck. |
