Deckorators Deck Stones - Manual (Page 2)

EDGES
When installing along the edge, if the joist connector doesn’t engage with the groove on the deck stone or there isn’t a joist
connector on that piece, apply an exterior construction adhesive on the surface of the joist connector to secure the deck stone
panel to the joist connector (Figure #3). Along the sides of the deck, use part “C” to secure the deck stone panel.
SUBSEQUENT ROWS
Once the first row is installed, the second row of
deck stone panels can be placed. After placing
the second row, joist connector A can be placed
underneath the deck stone panel. Place the joist
connectors so that the countersunk screw hole in
the center of the joist connector is exposed. Put
a screw into the joist connector hole and into the
joist below (Figure #4). Place two more screws,
staggered in remaining exposed holes (three
screws per joist connector). You may now place
subsequent rows (Figure #5).
FINISHING
If you have started on the outside and have worked
back toward the house, you may have a situation
where you need to trim a deck stone panel. Place
joist connector part B up close to the house.
Take exterior construction adhesive and apply
generously to the topside of joist connector part
B. Take the deck stone panel and starting at a 45-degree angle, slide the panel with the grooved end into the joist connector
from the previous row and slowly drop into place. Weight should be applied to the top surface of the cut deck stone panel to
make full contact with the construction adhesive.
MAINTENANCE
Use of an exterior impregnator sealer is required to reduce staining and to protect the stone in freeze-thaw conditions.
We recommend sealing your deck stones once a year as per warranty.
