I am replacing my deck boards using 5/4 rugullar pressure treated boards. I'll be screwing into the 2 inch side of the floor joist that are 16 inches apart (I think they are 2x8 or 2x10).ost would probably tell you to use 2 1/2 inch, but i always go twice the member your screwing and add 1/2 inch if the reciving member will allow. That means 3 in your case. not a big increase in cost but much more solid. 08-16-02, 03:07 PM #3.
