JOB SITE STORAGE
Remember when storing Style Selections decking:
° You must store Style Selections products on a flat
and level surface. Adjust support blocks accordingly.
° You must support Style Selections products with
dunnage when placing bundles.
° When stacking Style Selections products, supports
should start at each end and be spaced 2 ft (0.61 m)
on center. Supports should line up vertically.
° DO NOT stack Style Selections higher than six bundles
(units) or 12 ft (3.7 m) high.
° Cover material on site until you are ready to install it.
Units of Style Selections lumber on uneven ground.
Units of Style Selections lumber on level ground.
° Most colored chalk lines are permanent.

Dust-Off Marking Chalk.
° We DO NOT recommend sanding. Sanding will change
the appearance of the surface of Style Selections™
material and will void the warranty with respect to
any condition caused by such sanding.
° When drilling large or deep holes, periodically lift
the bit out of the hole to remove the
shavings.
° Throughout this guide, feet are
converted to meters and inches to
centimeters.
° If you want to minimize the
appearance of joists through the spaces between
boards, paint the top of your joists black.
° Decking is suitable for a wide range of applications.
It is not intended for primary structural members such
as load bearing columns, joists, stringers, and beams.
° Construction methods are always improving. Please
