Installation Instructions

DECK LEDGER SPACERS

DON’T LET YOUR DECK

ROT YOUR HOUSE!

Poorly designed ledger connections can trap moisture between

your deck and house, which can lead to decay. This condition

causes costly repairs to your home and is often a contributing

factor when a deck collapses. Deck2wall Spacers™ will help

prevent decay. Use our engineered fastening table to determine

the distance between fasteners.

Installation Guide - Model #D2W58

Size - 2 1/2” Diameter X 5/8” Thick Material - Glass Filled Polypropylene

1. Cut ledger to length and lay out deck joists on ledger.

2. Temporarily attach the ledger in the desired location.

3. Drill holes as required for fasteners. Avoid joist locations and

vertical grooves in siding if applicable. Refer to Deck Ledger

Fastening Table on reverse side for the correct spacing of

fasteners. Consult a designer or building ofﬁcial if needed.

4. Remove ledger, center Deck2wall Spacers™ over bolt holes

and attach spacers to the building side of the ledger. To

comply with the D2W58 fastening table, install each spacer

with 3-#8 x 1 5/8” Phillips Square-Driv® or GuardDog®

screws, or equal. Use only premium exterior coated or 300

series stainless steel, 1 5/8” minimum length, #8 or larger.

5. At the building, apply sealant in and around the bolt holes /

pilot holes to prevent moisture intrusion.

6. Position ledger against the building. Align bolt /pilot holes

and secure fasteners.

Install each Deck2wall Spacer to ledger with 3 - #8 x 1 5/8” exterior

screws (as noted above) and use spacers as a template to drill through

ledger. Position ledger in the desired location and continue drilling as

required into supporting structure. Apply sealant and secure fasteners.
