Decking Digest takes a deep dive with you on the products, price, and performance gains for decking installers when using Joist Runner.
What is the Joist Runner?
The Joist Runner is an efficiency tool in the form of a stability device. The product raises deck installers above the project by replacing ladders or unsafe practices for building elevated decks.
Two steel support arms attach to fastened joists which then creates a solid base for a scaffolding plank.
Joist Runner is made in the United States. It’s ANSI Certified, and the arms can accommodate a variety of joist sizes, from 2 x 8”-12”.
Two Joist Runner are approved for 1,000lbs of weight.
Pro Benefits
The ability to review your build from a bird's eye view is the main benefit. This allows you to manage your work above grade - safely.
You also gain a lot of mobility along the scaffolding. Blocking the frame and deck board installation becomes much easier.
This product is well designed for frames above 4 feet. If you find yourself doing a lot of elevated decks, we suggest you give this a serious look.
The efficiency and more importantly, the safety of the crew can benefit for incorporating Joist Runner into your build process.
Joist Clips
DSS also offers joist clips that help set joists at the proper height. These steel clamps get fastened into the top of your joists and ta-dah, you're level to the ledger or rim.
These Joist Clips are made of solid steel and can take a beating through the jobsite.
The Joist clips also are a huge help with elevated decks where you really need a third hand to hold your joists into position prior to tacking them into position.
Joist Runner Cam Clips
These cam stops by Deck Scaffolding Systems are a really cool way to add positive stops for your clamps when installing decking boards. These cam stops are placed into position on a wood frame and act as resistance for your clamps to manage your gapping or take a bow out of a board.
