We would like to suggest the following procedures in order to ensure the best quality fiberglass deck.

  • When framing your deck, please use a minimum of ¾” tongue and groove exterior plywood for the sub floor.  You
    must make sure to pitch your deck a minimum of ¼” per linear foot.  We are not responsible for puddles or poor run
    off.  The roof pitch is the sole responsibility of the builder.

  • The sub fascia should be applied prior to the installation of the fiberglass so that we can install our PVC rot-resistant
    fascia drip edge.

  • Any handrail posts should be installed prior to our fiberglass deck installation so that we can roll the fiberglass up the
    bottom of the posts for a watertight seal.

  • Before installation of stucco and siding on exterior walls (where the fiberglass flashes up the wall), we recommend a
    row of ice and water shield to seal any nail holes where starter strips are applied.  

  • Do not install railings until the color coat has been applied and is thoroughly dry.
