What is the maximum spacing between exterior deck boards?
What is the maximum spacing between exterior deck boards?
(OP)
I'm using dried 4x12 timber planks on steel framing to make a commercial boardwalk / deck. I'm concerned that with timber shrinkage the gap between the planks might get too large. BUT, I cannot find a standard or code anywhere that gives a maximum spacing. Can anyone point me to a CODE or STANDARD for reference?
