we are rebuilding our old deck and want to protect the joists from decay. Do any of you recommend a product called "joist jackets" or something similar? Do you cut roofing tar paper into strips and secure it to the tops of the joists? another alternative might be sealing the joist tops with some sort of an epoxy or waterproof glue - letting it dry and then securing the deck boards. Our deck is 8' off the ground, so we planned to use regular fir/hemlock 2x10's for the joists and painting them with our house paint so they look good from the bottom. (we don't trust the new ACQ treated boards and their interaction with galvanized joist hangers!) Any suggestions welcomed! thanks, diane

I tore down a deck for a re-build in Lakeway, Tx. back in 85' that was about 20 years at the time. The builder used yellow pine for joist then put platefelt on top of each joist then painted them as you were planning. The joist were all in great shape with no rot whatsoever. The deck was elevated so I'm sure that had something to do with it. The platefelt was nothing more than 30lb. feltpaper.

You can apply this tape on top of deck joists, ledger boards, and around support posts. It creates a waterproof seal that prevents decay.
