FAQs

What is the purpose of the Blooma Rubber Deck Joist Pad?

The Blooma Rubber Deck Joist Pad provides a stable, rot-resistant base for decking joists, promoting drainage and extending the life of your deck.

Are these pads compatible with all types of decking?

While designed for Blooma decking systems, they can be used with other systems, provided the joist dimensions are compatible.

How many pads are in a pack?

A pack contains 24 pads.

Do I need any special tools for installation?

You may need a level and possibly a saw for cutting the pads, depending on your joist layout and any necessary adjustments.

How do I ensure the ground is properly prepared?

The ground should be level, compacted, and free of debris and vegetation. Ensure proper drainage of the ground.

How long do these pads typically last?

The pads are made of durable rubber and are designed to last for the lifetime of your deck. This will depend on the ground conditions and other external factors.

Can I cut the pads to fit my specific joist spacing?

What happens if water accumulates under the deck?

The pads help to improve drainage and air flow, minimizing the risk of water accumulation, which can cause rot. Proper ground preparation and deck design are essential for optimal drainage.

Troubleshooting

Joists are not level.

Adjust the placement of the pads or add shims under the joists to achieve a level surface.
